Stir crazy

Now in Island Waterworld marina with a rotten forecast for the weekend.  We were thinking of going out today but the Christmas winds are well set in for the next few days and Sunday is due to have thunderstorms (the rain is still warm!).  We've had a productive week, the KISS wind generator is fitted and works very well and most importantly is very quiet.  The steering is fixed along with a lot of minor stuff.  Not sure whether I've got the electronics working - I will need to get to sea to check the wind indicator out.  On Wednesay we collect our cockpit cushions and a riding sail to cut down the boats tendency to 'horse' at anchor. Then its off the St Barts and then maybe St Kitts and Nevis before Antigua for the New Year.  The couple who operate the marina are really nice (Ben and Monica) and we'ver met several other Brits who like us are fitting out before heading off,  we had a memorable jetty barbeque the other night -  nuff said. Wi Fi here is rubbish there are so many networks they all interfere with each other - which means we have to come ashore to a bar to connect - hard life. Still we really want to get on now, hence the title of this entry.  However we can always console ourselves with the temperature and price of rum!!!!!!!!
