well he day started out perfectly. i got us under way just before sunrise for a 70 nm run to st barts. if you recall the last st barts event was quite expensive so i had planed this one to arrive at sunset then then aimee was to go in and stock up on the subsidized 2 euro caviar and baguette and be under way by 8am.
all went according to plan initially. we made great time with the polled out genoa and got several hits, lost one lure but d and almost got a Dorado but he slipped the hook as i was pulling him in, man thoes guys can move!!
we anchored off the point where we always do and had anther tunna tatar/pokie with avocado dinner. delicious! that night the anchorage got incredibly rolly and i almost got us underway but the promise of caviar mon morning kept us flopping back and forth across the cabin while the bottles knocked on each other.
we where both up before dawn and after an hour or two on the computer aimee was ready to head to town. we got the dingy in with difficulty and arrived at the store only to find a sign saying “closed on mon 30 sept” in french of course. aimee pleaded with the owner to no avail (also in french) and i dropped into a deep depression over my poor decision making resulting in no caviar for us!
oh and along the way i finally got rid off all my bs legal documents, 2 massive binders of crap. much better than a shredder!
another miserable day in paradise!
cheers
roger
