Castries

---

Rodney Bay was very interesting. When Pete checked the transmission fluid, he found it was milky. Ouchy...I am thinking, tranny is gone. Miles from anywhere. We were fortunate that a cruiser we knew, Second Millennium, was anchored behind us.
Melody new a mechanic in this island. Pete called him right away, he was able to look at the tranny next morning. So Pete took dinghy into marina, brought him back. Turned out to be the oil cooler. Went looking for one, Temptress, had 2 on board. We bought one from him.
But want to tell this experience for posterity. While at anchored, not having found the part for a few days. We could not move. Here comes a tropical wave, we prayed the anchor would hold. We tossed, turned, heeled and what not. Fortunately the anchor held. Whew!
Eaudree called on the VHF asked if we wanted to share in a taxi tour of the island for $10 per person for all day. We said yes, so here are pictures of Castries and some of the island. Ended up being Prim Rose, Raven, Eaudree and Paper Moon, all sandwiched in a mini van.

Spring, 100 degrees
One of the waterfalls, yes, we were in it. Very relaxing.

Inactive volcano
We were told as long as it oozes sulfur, there is not problem.

The Group
Sea Schell, Eaudree, Raven and Prim Rose along for the tour with us.

Cashew
The cashew grows on the bottom of the fruit. Pete holding it upside down.

Bananas
They do come in different colors. Very tasty!

Green Beans?
Not sure what these are, but they sell them in all the islands.

Baskets
They are less money here, than any of the islands.

Veggies and fruits
In my opinion the best market in the islands.
