We wake up to more rain. It’s dreary and grey. Annie comes over early for Mike to sort out her computer as she couldn’t send e-mails but after looking at it and finding nothing wrong with the settings, Mr Computer Fixit Mike, manages to send one.
Bev and Moe go off for a dive in the late morning and Stuart goes ashore for a look around. I catch up with the blog (how many times do I say that?) and generally laze around feeling apathetic.
Matt comes by and says they are going for a snorkel right out in the bay in the afternoon so after some leftovers for lunch, Bev, Moe and Stuart start the dinghy up and go over. About an hour later they are back. The dinghy decided to pack up again and they are towed back by Eline and Oisin.
In the evening Jutta and Jochem invite us to join them at a restaurant where friends of theirs are playing. We decide to eat on board and join them for drinks afterwards. Matt offers us a lift but after dinner he doesn’t turn up (or so we think at the time). In the end it’s getting so late that when the others decide to take our dinghy over, we don’t go. It is still raining on and off and I just don’t fancy a soaking. Once they get there they discover that Matt had been hammering on the side of our boat but when he got no reply he presumed we had either gone or didn’t want to be disturbed. With 5 people talking on the boat, plus the hum of the air conditioning and with the doors shut, we hadn’t been able to hear him.
We would really like to leave Bequia tomorrow and head out just 10 miles to Mustique but if the weather continues like this it just isn’t worth it. Maybe we will break the journey to St Lucia with a stop in St Vincent. Who knows. We’ll look at the weather reports and decide – there’s no real hurry.
I intend having a really night but don’t get one. I feel really tired at the moment. I don’t know if it’s the humidity (which is very high with all the rain) or the strange anticipation of the end of the rally.
