John Sinclair arrived on schedule on Sunday to spend a couple weeks with John Fallon aboard Stopp Knot. He seemed very pleased to be free of shoveling and looking at the snow for some time! In the photo above, John Sinclair is on the left and John Fallon is on the right. John’s son Grant originally helped get Cat Tales to Canada from the Caribbean in 2002, and also did the recent run with us from Bermuda to the BVI’s. Like his dad, he’s great company and always welcome visitors!
We have finally connected with Kristen and Bill Nugent from Secoudon. They are from Saint John and sign in regularly to the Ham Radio Mississauga Maritime Net in the morning. Apparently they were in Flower’s Cove one year, several years ago, when we hosted many from the RKYC for a rib dinner at our cottage, However, they didn’t come in as they had others onboard and different plans. A couple years ago while sailing around St. Martin, we talked to them on the VHF radio, however, they were going north and we were heading south, so meeting them was not to be once again. The third time, we were in our dinghy in the lagoon in St. Martin and found their boat, but NOBODY was home. We left our card and left.
This week, who arrives in Rodney Bay, but Secoudon! We have enjoyed a few meals with them already and will play together for the next week or so.
Last night, the 2 Johnnies, John Sinclair and John Fallon entertained both the crews of Cat Tales and Secoudon on Stopp Knot for a delicious roast beef dinner. Beef is a bit of a rarity down here, so when someone packs it in with their luggage, we all enjoy it immensely!
