Back in the marina

This was yesterday, or the day before, today sanding and varnishing! Tomorrow maybe we'll take a ferry and go to Saba, Saturday another mechanic will have a go at our old leaky motor.
We left St. Barths and its rolly rolly rolly anchorage. The island is beautiful but not boat friendly. The anchorages are all rolly. On our way out we stopped at Ile Fourchue, nice, not so rolly, rocky and deserted. Ant then back to St. Martin. A lovely day, good breeze but humongous seas. Juan's back reacted badly to the roll, so tomorrow he could hardly move. To make it better he is sanding and varnishing! What a life of leisure!
I cleaned, re organized the fridge (fiftieth time) and came to the Bistro de la Mer to use their internet. I have now ordered a pizza to take back. Expensive price to pay for the net. We believe we will be sailing back to the Virgins on Monday when the weather forecasts seem milder. The Anegada passage is 75 miles and the waves come from every which way, since we will be going with the wind we hope to make it faster than last time!
