Sailing holidy not off to an auspicious start – throat is sore, LIAT flight is 2 hours late.  There are 3 other passengers in the terminal, and a handful of staff.  Gorgeous sunny day though; I miss this warmth and humidity.

Good conversations last night at Alka-Hall, and plenty of shite talk.  Unfortunately, I was too tired to join in the D&D session – I hear it ran to 3 AM.  Now need to check Facebook to find a few people like Jason K and Chris C; it’s always good to keep in touch with people.  Amused that Jason works for Sunbeach, where I once worked.

Had a roti for lunch, contemplating getting some frozen skins and taking them home with me.  Have the curry powder already, and I could use the practice.

Tired fuh so; only got 7 hours sleep after 24 hours+ of travelling.  Should sleep well if I get to St. Vincent today.

So I arrive in St. Vincent with my carry-on luggage, but no checked luggage.  LIAT, short for Luggage In Another Terminal.  Ah well, not a great disaster, as I have some spare clothes in my carry-on.  A quick word with the LIAT desk to fill in the paperwork declaring my luggage lost, whereupon the guy behind the desk forgot to insert the carbon paper between the sheets; photocopy time.

Took a taxi over to Blue Lagoon and joined Mum and Dad on ‘Lady Di’.  Whiled away the (late) afternoon, and had sandwiches for dinner.

Talk about a hot night though.  Compared to our previous charter, the infamous ‘Tight Five’, the cabins on ‘Lady Di’ are not well ventilated, and when the wind drops in, you can tell she’s a boat built for the northern latitudes, not the Caribbean.  An uncomfortable night overall, with Dad waking me at one point to tell me that I’m snoring loud enough to wake the dead.
