A few weeks ago up in Dominica, my (Dawn) crown fell off in two pieces in the middle of a great lunch. We waited until we got back to Rodney Bay in St. Lucia to check in with Dr. Glace, a well known and respected dentist among sailors here. On Monday morning, I called his office and they set me up for Wednesday morning at 8:00. Well, that's a half hour dinghy ride, so we were on our way at 7:30 am. The night before we had a great evening aboard Cat Tales with Denis and Arlene (Tiger Lily II), Terry and Kristin (Silk Pajamas), Glyn and Jenny (Wandering Star), Lorna and Brian (Peace and Plenty). So, off we go to the dentist bright and early! Dr. Glace built me a temporary crown over the course of about 45 minutes to an hour and I paid the bill and we were on our way. The total cost was 350.00 EC which is around 100 CAD dollars...a great deal. His price for a check up and cleaning is 145.00 EC, so Lorna and Brian are thinking about getting their dental needs sorted out before arriving back home in London, Ontario.
This afternoon, Laurie and Brian are working on wiring improvements on Peace and Plenty, while Lorna and I are over at Jamb de Bois checking email and setting up a blog. We'll stay here for about a week and then will head south towards Bequia and the Tobago Cays where we are expecting company for the first week of March. All for now...Dawn
