Sorry “Charlie

Started with a lazy morning as the boys slept in–recovery mode. Once motivated, Matt decided to clean the props and wipe down our hulls (surprising how fast growth and barnacles grow). Wayne drank about a gallon of water as I finished my novel (great book for those of you who read “The Other Boleyn Girl” the same author wrote “The Lady Rivers” about a 15th century heroin who is virtually unmentioned in the history books. I loved it so much I downloaded 4 more of her books along the same theme. Matt made toad in the hole for breakfast using some fresh bread baked by our pizza guy at St Lucia (little gift to me). We decided to head to Mustique rather than the keys with our friends as it made more sense to travel up once and then down by Mayrou and the keys on our way to Grenada. We hope to see them again here in Mustique tomorrow as we will hang out here for a few days (one of our very favorite islands). It is only about 8 nautical miles as the crow flies once you get past Bequia, but the boys wanted to take the long way around since we were not in much of a hurry and it is a short distance. Super smooth seas, motor sailed with the jib as we continued to fill the water tanks. I took a short nap out on the tramp–it was that peaceful. When we were about 1/2 mile out of the bay, we hear the joyous sound of the reel running–fish on! The same boring 6″ cedar plug caught another one (not any of our other fancy fishing lures!) So happy that Wayne caught us dinner! Yummy.

Wayne maneuvered the boat expertly up to a ball while Matt tied us up to a mooring ball. Super easy catch. Hanging out on the bow, enjoying the beautiful blue water, music from the shore, cool breeze, and sunshine. Super great day!

    Both of the fish that we caught were about 6 dinners worth – not sure of the weight. We got two dinners for the 3 of us and they were tasty!
