Departure day and every thing is open

Up earlyish Shawn had already left for a run. I was too early for the marina, Regis, and island water world. They didnt open up till 8:30.

Found Shawn retuning for his run and wandered about a bit till the stores started opening up. Island water world to restock the fuel filers and 2 cycle oil and a nice big thing of corrosionX. In April when return it’ll be a Saturday and then everything is closed on Sunday so figured it was now or have to wait till Monday to get stuff.

Found John at Regis, he had replied to my email and wanted to know if the compressor was running. So I went. Ack to check on it after stopping by the marina to see the main man who hadnt shown up yet.

Finally Regis hooked me up with Prudent the local refrigerator guys contact information. First call went in answered but was able to make contact when we only had about an hour before the taxi was to show up. We need to coordinate with him but he knows the issue well with the system and said if we had called on Saturday we would be fixed by now but since the boat will be hauls out and he wants to leave it running for a while after the evac and recharge will do so when we get put back in the water. Finally a light at the end of the freezer tunnel.

Also hooked up with Edwin and he said they’d get a move on things later this week or next.

Different Taxi guy showed up and another sailor needed a rude to the airport as well so we shared our cab with her. They are using the fiberglass man that gave us the quote for some work on their monohull as they had heard good things too.

The teak guy came back with the quote was a bit higher than Grenada so probably gonna pass for now.

Off to the airport. Little over 2hrs to get from Rodney Bay Marina and all checked in through customs and the trek home begins with a stop in Miami and Houston before the drive back to central Texas.

The lady at customs said I looked sad. I told her it was because I was leaving but she shouldn’t worry as there are lots st Lucia stamps in my passport and would be back soon.
