Still in St.Maarten

Sunday 27th June

Location: Simpson Bay Lagoon, St.Maarten.

Today it’s supposed to rain heavily all day, and with all the heavy cloud, around it looks as though it’s going to do just that. I’m quite fed up with the weather; we haven’t had a day without rain since we arrived. We have had one or two spells of sunshine, but we’re just getting one wave after another of bad weather, its yucky! Poor Edi he’s been with us for 10 days today, and so far aside from one quick snorkel at Peter Island, we haven’t done anything resembling a vacation. As per normal we seem to spend most of our time repairing, and fixing things. Today the job on the agenda is to repair the guest head (loo), OH joy, poor Bob.
With yet another possible day of rain ahead, we will probably stay inside, all day and get the rest of the jobs done, with a hope of leaving for St.Barths tomorrow. I’m really hoping the weather will improve so we can snorkel in Columbia Bay for a couple of days.
Bob picked up his new satellite phone from the fed ex office the day we arrived here, but he needs another part, hopefully that will arrive tomorrow.

Well it turns out that the weather was lovely today, we had some thunder rumbling in the distance, but the sun has shone all day. We got lots of little jobs done before coming over to Jimbo’s to use the Internet. Now we are about to head over to Rene & Cheryl’s boat for cocktails. Then tonight we’re cooking steaks on the barbeque. Starting to sort of feel like a vacation…
