Yesterday's dinner were Shark Steaks and they were fine. Today it will be Pasta with a Bolla, Valpolicella red wine.

We waited a long time to get Echo Marine to change the Membranes on the water maker. Their managing the workers leaves much to be desired, but finally, after a huge amount of my phone calls, they came today and the three chaps were excellent workers, as well as kind people. They had to dismantle a lot of New Dawn to get to the water maker and after three hours it was all done, but costly. We should now be OK for the coming five years, at least.

So now all the work, well most of it, on my urgent list is almost done and we went to clear out at Immigration and Customs - a silly process here - and collected the last shopping, namely the Duty Free and slowly, heavy loaded, took the tender back to New Dawn. It is all stored and tomorrow we will fill up with fuel and set sail mid afternoon for Grenada, a 14-16 h sail to the north, so we should arrive the day after in the morning.

Last minute shopping taken on-board.
