On 2/3/23, the wind shifted directions and our anchorage was getting a little rougher than it had been.  We decided to motor back to Nevis since our time was cut short there.  We picked up a mooring ball this morning and are all set to stay here for a few days.

The anchorage is quite convenient in that it offers us a place to tie up our dinghy at a dock.  There is free garbage disposal available as well as several markets for us to provision from.  We are facing a long beach with a picturesque, dormant volcano in the background. 

This is a funny story. Yesterday we walked through town to the IGA, which is one of the larger supermarkets on the island.  Nevis doesn’t have great sidewalks so often times we need to walk along a path just above the curb.  As we were walking, single file, a black donkey came out from some shrubbery and faced Steve approximately eight feet in front of him.  Steve quickly moved onto the street and continued walking.  The donkey got frightened, turned around, and ran back from the direction it came.  We walked past where we saw the donkey and then turned around.  Two donkeys were now coming out of the shrubbery, the young black one and what appeared to be an older grey donkey.  They were making all sorts of noise, as though they were yelling at us, while walking in our direction.  We were far enough away that they gave up on the idea of approaching us.  It was really funny, as it appeared the young black donkey ran and told the older grey donkey that we were in their territory.
