CAY's
Firstly, many thanks to those who sent the skipper
birthday wishes and presents yesterday, they were greatly appriciated..
We had an early breckfast and then sent Stefan up
the Mast to replace the "Tricolour " bulb, but alas , the boat was rolling a bit
too much
and could not get the job done, so thats for
another day, most likely back at the marina in Rodney bay.
Lunch consisted of lobster from last night, plus
prawns, avacado, tomatoes, celery, and some rabbit food, . it all tasted
great.
Ohhhhhh , all this lovely heat, so off we all went
to the adjoining little island, I mean tiny sandy little island, where we went
snortling
and litterly played with the TURTLES, sometimes we
were able to hang on to them and hitch a ride, (stuff you would see in film's
).
We spent many hours swimming around the corals and
admiring all the lovely different types of tropical fish, including
Barracuda's
There were many PELICAN'S and other types of exotic
sea birds, we all revelled in the pale blue waters of " Horse Shoe "
reef.
,just only a few feet in depth. and easy to survey
and enjoy........
However the locals are , by nature , fairley lazy
and certainly not into keeping their wonderfull asset clean. and according to
the
locals themselves, about 75% of them smoke HASH /
GRASS. It can be smelt where ever you go ...... But they survive, and then
die young..
Such a pity, when they have so much going for
them......
Dinner was a mixture of turkey and other bits, plus
rice, Hey Boss ! it was fairly bland and if the crew were not starving, the boss
might well
have had it for Breackfast the next day, all on his
own..
This was followed by watching 2 D.V.D's
, 1st " THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE " a
Gilbert & Sullivan play which the Skipper
was part of the cast when he was at Christian's in
cork as a young fellow.
2nd was " VALKYRIE " a film about
one of the 15 attempts made on HITLERS life, ( amazing that none succeeded )(
did he have a GOD of his own ! )
Early bunk
