The Odyssey resumes

Arrived back in St Maarten on Tuesday 28 March. It was 29 degrees C when we landed - quite a shock to the system. Excellent flight with KLM via Amsterdam. It's now Friday afternoon and Follyfin has just been plonked back in the water.

Ready for the lift

We will stay here for the weekend. Bobby’s boat yard, although not the most salubrious, is most accommodating with very nice people. Added bonus is its close proximity to the international airport (a trifle noisy during the day though!).

Tomorrow we'll be stocking up the stores - good French supermarkets a longish dinghy ride on the far side of the lagoon - and Monday we head for Anguila, about 20 miles north of this island. It's British so we should feel at home!
