On Sunday, Jana and Gary will leave us and fly home. Then we will have spent more than two months together on board, longer than usual due to Corona. But the whole thing was a thoroughly successful social experiment, because the four of us harmonised perfectly.<\/p>\n
The Rivercafe still needs some attention. Our radio and AIS need to be replaced and our water maker has to be repaired. Only then will we be truly self-sufficient. Where we can sail to next will be determined by the C19 protocols of the islands. It is clear that it will be a different rhythm. There will probably be fewer short stops. It will be a special Caribbean season, without charter ships and with far fewer ships than usual.<\/p>\n
We will therefore spend Christmas and probably New Year’s Eve in St Lucia. Unfortunately also in marinas, because our water maker will not be repaired by then and of course we need fresh water. But I guess we will find something nice.<\/p>\n
St Lucia is coming back to life and the C19 regulations were relaxed again yesterday as there are hardly any cases. The restaurants are open and we can move around freely. Normal tourism is not happening yet. But people are happy that hopefully things will pick up again soon. The people here are super happy that at least the ARC ships have found their way here. Even if there are far fewer than usual. Ka and I are also looking forward to the next time we travel as a couple again. Until then, we’ll try to absorb a bit of Christmas spirit. That’s also possible at 30 degrees, even if it’s a little different.<\/p>\n
Have a wonderful pre-Christmas season and don’t let Corona take away your good mood. Everything will be fine, eventually. See you next week. \/Holger Binz<\/p>\n
