Back to Union

Exactly one month ago, and a day, we left Union Island for Tobago and now we're back.
We leave Carriacou for Union at 12 noon. And, interupting pulling up the anchor this time,we have no business for a furious oyster selger. We leave him cussing all yachties, The White Man.

We're hard on the wind from the North-east, all the way to Union. A short motorsail puts us into position to navigate the reefs that guard this windward harbor. We're almost anchored at 4pm. When who should show up in a dinghy but the four-man crew of "Galadriel". Two of which are Sondre, 9 years old and Synne,seven. All last seen in Porto Santo (Madeira). They and their Bavaria 42 have lost a rudder and a gear box, but are otherwise, fine. And the boat, two times up on the hard, is repaired.
Snorkeling-Sondre is out and under in a flash and checks out our anchor, at nine meters. All's well.
So we sleep well in the ever-windy Clinton Harbor, at Union Island.
