Return to Grand Case

We woke up in Lagoonies Marina with a sore head feeling worse for wear after a big night out at a steakhouse on Papalona Marina. We had to prepare Faraway for sail as all our maintenance jobs were done and we wanted to be out on the water for Christmas. I had to feed the fish first over the back of the stern. Bit unfair to be 'sea sick' before even getting out on the water. We prepared Faraway and pottered out of the Marina to the fuel dock at around 9:30am. Unfortunately we didn’t get in the fuel dock until around 10:30am and the Dutch bridge opened at 11:00am for only 20 minutes. It was touch and go but we made it even after the guy on the bridge changed the lights to red. We watched all the super yachts in the Marina head out to sea and could only wonder about their owners and passengers and where they came from. We let the sails out and headed up towards Grand Case to moor for Christmas Eve. It was great to be sailing and we got Faraway up to 6.4 knots which was pretty good given the conditions. Luckily the wind was blowing the other direction that night and we couldn't hear the music this time and got a good nights sleep.
