The trip was long because it was almost all upwind. We made short tacks because we wanted to cross into the shallows often while trolling for fish. It was a little scary, as the seas were rough, and so is the coastline. It paid off, however, as we caught a beautiful yellow-tailed snapper. I gave a video interview to Dawn after catching it - That may be on the weblog in a day or so. I filleted the snapper after we arrived here, and we now have had it for two meals. Sadly, we have a story about the one that got away - actually two did; but one was some kind of monster that bent the rod something fierce before breaking the steel leader and getting away with an expensive lure. We have no idea what it was, but can't stop thinking about the missed excitement and meals. I'm a little angry about the lure as well.
I also changed the oil in the starboard engine after our arrival, and lost about a litre of sweat while working on a hot engine in these warm Grenadian conditions. One more engine to go - the downside of catamarans.
We just got back from the boatyard, having inspected the facilities, acquired prices, dumped the waste oil, and of course - tried out their pub for a beer.
We have a good network connection here in the bay outside the boatyard, and are taking care of some business and personal issues (and updating virus and other shareware) before going further. We will be heading to another bay, looking for clean water to swim and bathe in. We have not chosen the bay yet. Hopefully we'll catch another fish on the way.
