As far as big winds go, last night was definitely better. Jorge was up though, hearing something in the mast, me - I heard nothing.

It was cool in the boat this morning, 15C, although I will not complain especially having received an email from the Rogans, complete with pictures of snow in Oro. Yikes!

We gathered ourselves together and headed out in the dinghy stopping first to touch base with the couple from Argentina. We chatted for a bit at their boat however had to postpone getting together until a later date as they are heading out early tomorrow morning and had to get ready.

Off we went into Charlestown to meet up with Jim and Bonnie (from Long Island who we met in Elizabeth City) for lunch. Afterwards, Jorge and I toured the farmer's market and a few other sites. One was the Old Slave Mart Museum, literally the site of a slave auction house! We then walked Rainbow Row - a road with multicoloured homes on it, the waterfront, and a craft market. Lots of walking today.

We got back to the boat and had a quick supper as Jim and Bonnie were coming over for a visit. They left by 2100 and we called it a day.
