Adventures on our Trintella 57a…
The competitive sides of cruisers come to the surface when there is a throttle in hand. We couldn’t resist a race with Talulah Ruby from De Big Fish back to Prickly Bay Marina. A quick tip; if you are going to race get a solid hull! With Talulah Ruby and Calypso (well Calypso was here but have made it an early night). It was unpredictably quiet at Prickly Bay Marina but the one man steel band played on for a couple of hours to his 8 person audience.
We attended a cooking class with the unusual comedy duo Esther and Omega at Dodgy Dock. The Creole Chicken recipe is below.
Here are some Bingo goat winners from last week. Those goats are cute…..
Fantastic…..Aditi win a prize at Bingo which includes an invitation to inflate the ship’s Parrot.
On school books! A special day out in St George’s and we found a good Bavarian restaurant nearby, The Schnitzel Haus, overlooking the Carenage (called The Balcony at street level). We had Bratwurst and the most obvious thing visually is the lack of vegetables which have proved hard to find throughout this area. On de bus….
Local vegetables and other goodies
So we had a little party onboard which included the French Yorkshire Terrier Gofie along with Pierre, Marcella from Phebus, David & Anne-Marie from Calypso and Paul and Andi from Talulah Ruby III (as they embark on their second circumnavigation).
We have spent a week living with almost no water. We can keep the needle off the bottom by making water for 4 to 5 hours a day. Normally that would be 300L a day in which case we could be living as normal. Our Ecosistems 60 watermaker started to decline in performance now making 20L per hour rather than 60L. We can’t figure out the problem but it could be the pump head. The system cannot reach an operating pressure. Factory support on Ecosistems is best though of as nil so you have to use their network of support
On the Maurice Bishop Highway is CK Cash & Carry. It sells at retail prices but you can get some great quantities and additional choices to downtown. No fruit and veg though. And next door is a Chinese Restaurant which serves dishes that have an acceptable level of chilli in them and you can have dinner for about $7 USD a head.
