St. Lucia

---

Arriving in Rodney Bay, we anchored close to the beach. We had previously met
2nd Millenium, we anchored close to them.
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Lucia
Pete checked engine, found water in transmission.
Melody on 2nd Millenium, gave us name of mechanic Tony George and his cell number. Pete called him, made appointment.
Turned out it was a leaky oil cooler for the transmission. We were able to pick a used one up from another cruiser for $60 US.
We toured the island with a group, Eaudree, Sea Schell, Raven, Prim Rose and us.
We spent 2 weeks in St. Lucia, 1 week anchored out, Moon Sail, Cheetah II, Non Linear, Dock Queen, Chateau, Sol Y Mar arrived. The marina had a special going on if you came in with a buddy boat, they would charge 17 cents a foot. So we went into marina with Dock Queen as our buddy boat.
We rode the local bus to Castries open market. Amazing, you can find anything you want. How about pink bananas?
Maribel says this is so far her favorite island. Has a little of everything.
The beer is Piton, yummy.
