John Fallon of s/v Stopp Knot didn't get off the dock in St. Lucia. He had his boat fully loaded with people, food and beer and discovered he had transmission troubles. After trouble shooting for a day, he now has resigned himself to staying put for this season's Bequia regatta. Edgar and his 2 man crew left St. Lucia and arrived here in Bequia on his racing boat J-24 "Loose Canon" at around 6:30 pm after sailing for 12 hours. Because all three guys were to use John's boat for accommodations, we stepped in and invited them to stay with us. We now have Edgar (originally from Australia), Trevor (a police officer from St. Lucia) and Ronnie (a sailor from Italy) aboard Cat Tales with all their food and beer!
We have also agreed to crew on Sunday with Brian and Paula on their boat "Magique" and will do an around the island race.
So, what a difference a day makes!
"Let's get this party started..."
