Prickley Bay

---

We left the Marina yesterday morning. We have no sails, but opted to leave canvas on in case it was rough. We anchored in Prickley Bay close to Sea U Manana, Peter and Debbie and their sons Mathias and Joshua. We could see Lyman house from where we were. We met Paula and Dave, Prim Rose, for pizza and a few drinks at the Prickley Bay Marina. Prim Rose is med style moored. It is rather complicated for them to get off the boat. They do not have a boat ramp set up. The usual problem for us American boats.
Peter and Dave came over this morning around 1000 to help us with dinghy and canvas. We removed all the canvas and hardware and going to canvas shop for restitching. The seams are all coming apart. It will be done on Tuesday, before we leave on the 1st.
Peter was back at 1245 for our trek into the marina. Boat was haulout at 1315 promptly. http://spiceislandmarine.com/
We opted to stay in some apartment instead of getting up and down the ladder in the middle of the night when you have to go to the bathroom. Will ride the local bus back and forth and then a half mile walk to marina.
We took pictures of the hull to send them to Trinidad paints. The bottom job not lasting, 2 months after job we had barnacle growth and algae.
As you can see, the dinghy is upside down on deck, covered with tarp, and tied down to stanchions.
