Diana and Gilbert arrived at CS'ta Time at 0900 as planned. We were heading to the Botanical Gardens this morning. We figured we would walk the gardens before it got too hot. Unfortunately at 0900 it was already too late - it was hot! We walked slowly to the gardens, not wanting to work up too much of a sweat. The gardens were, unfortunately, disappointing. There were a number of trees but really no flowers. It should have been called a "park" instead of "gardens". However it was still enjoyable.

We were back to the boat shortly before 1100. Diana and Gilbert left to do their own thing for the rest of the day. Jorge and I sat in the cockpit to cool off before he left for the yacht club to watch the next soccer match. I felt I didn't need to see this game so read a guide book of the Windward Islands, had lunch then made my way to the yacht club to catch the last few minutes of the game.

 

We walked back to the boat and basically did as little as possible the rest of the day. We enjoyed some munchies in the cockpit, had supper in the cockpit and stayed there afterwards sipping wine. We had a gentle breeze and that was the coolest spot on the boat! Temp was 31C, humid, very little cloud covering and no rain.
