Rain from England....

When it rains, it pours!
My parents arrived in St.Lucia and very kindly bought the rain all the way from England. It started the day they arrived and rained pretty much constanly for four days!!!! Now it's back to blue skies and pina coladas!!!

We spent a few days anchored in Rodney Bay in the north of St.Lucia where we were treated to a free concert from Ziggy Marley (Bob Marley's son). He was here for the St.Lucia jazz festival and practising for the open air concert this weekend. Darcy was very excited as she is a real Bob fan, she's learnt to play ' three little birds' on her guitar.

Barry the Cuda!
After a dry patch on the fishing front Dave's caught two Barry's (Barracuda!) this week. You certainly need to be careful fishing the hook out of their mouths. Delicious to eat.

 

We've had alot of success catching squid which are delicious fried. Darcy had a go at gutting one this week and got covered in black squid ink.

blowing the conch horn...
 The fishermen blow the conch shell when they have got fish to sell.

Getting Pops hoisting those sails!
