Marigot to Grand Case-Last Day


Wake up to one more day of sunshine and broken clouds.  Good morning Marigot!


We love Marigot too!!

Job #1 today is to get our negative COVID tests done within a day of departure to the US so we dinghy back to our dinner restaurant from last night to use their wifi and a little corner of a space when they opened for breakfast to do our Binax Telemedicine tests we all bought before we left the US. We had delicious croissants and cappuccinos too!


The Binax concept is a good one but when you’re streaming on a weak internet it becomes frustrating and at a minimum, awkward as you can see Steve trying to “show” Ramesh on the other end of the app his boxes QR code.  Steve set the record for disconnects at around a dozen!


Bill’s on his way to starting his test too.  I ended up having to hold his phone for him over the test kit like a hovering drone.  


Dan tries to get his test strip verified by his rep. 


And hear are my results. Getting these results all uploaded to our airline travel apps later on in the day proved a little more frustrating if you can imagine that.  


Our Covid tests all passed negative we now had time to shop the outdoor bazaar for gifts and mementos of our very good week. Everything was reasonably priced in US$.


We found time to linger, eat and drink in yet another French cafe for lunch before heading back to the Gilmith for our last sail.


And sail we did with the majority of the 8nm journey tacking into a 22nph wind with a good amount of heal to keep us on our toes.  This is one of the calmer moments when we could comfortably grab a phone and take a photo. 

 
And the heeling continued at dinner in the “Lolo” area near the dock in Grand Case at “The Sky’s the Limit where we had great food  with more of a Caribbean rather than French flair and wonderful service again.  


The owner, Marsha, crushed the service, quality of food and hustled continuously.
