On Tuesday, February 15 we sailed around to Nelsons Dockyard in English Harbour. An amazing historic harbour complete with original buildings and the odd cannon mounted around the marina. We had come in to get repairs done on our headsail and pick up more supplies. We had a stern to berth which was a little tricky to get into but the boat boys were great in assisting us. Ironically we were berthed next to another Island Packet 485 called 'Pelekan'. It was hull number 23 from the factory and our yacht was hull number 22. The owners Tom and Jocelyn were a lovely couple and we went to their well equipped yacht for drinks that evening. It was great to get some tips from them and ask questions about the little problems that we had been having on our yacht. They seemed to have been going through the same ordeals so it made us feel a lot better.
