St Lucia 6/20-?

We left Dominica at first light 0530 for the passage to St Lucia. We arrived in Soufriere about 0100 on Friday night. Lucky for us, a boat boy (Daniel) is still awake and coherent enough to drive his boat to meet us and guide us to his personal mooring ball. We doubt it is screwed into the sea bed as per our normal requirement, but after so many hours at sea, we decide not to quibble over details, especially since we are still in 40 feet of water and only 10 yards or so from the rocky coastline. After relaxing for a bit, albeit on mooring watch, we catch a few hours of shut-eye. We wake up at 0800 and check out our surroundings. On one side is full frontal ghetto assault, on the other is the majesty of the Pitons. Daniel shows up promptly to take us to town for check-in to the country. The town has a creepy feel to it. After finishing up check-in and immigration, we send Dave on his way to the airport. It has been great fun to have him help us with passages. THANKS DAVE!!!
After Dave leaves, we feel like we gotta get out of here. Soufriere is just too weird and much to our dismay (read: extreme piss-off) we discover that we are not quite out of the grip of generator/alternator/inverter issues. "Buggers" does not even approach adequate description. Something is not right in Denmark or our engine room. The captain needs a break. We scoot over to Rodney Bay, St Lucia, a cruiser port with robust marine resources. Evil forces conspiring in our power sources WILL be overcome. Rodney Bay is absolutely beautiful. Bait fish swarm our boat, the coast line is upscale and the anchorage is comfortable and quiet. It's all good!

The local fruit/vegetable vendor in Rodney Bay. Flags. Style. I dig it.
