Another beautifull day here in
Mauritius,
We had a light breakfast on board, and Aileen went
off to the hair dressor to have the hair done , Skipper
already had his done yesterday,
Aileen also had her broken tooth redone at the
dentist, He put in a few pins and reshaped the whole tooth and by all accounts
did
a great job for the equivalent of 30
euros.
Neil spent the morning recovering in the scratcher
,
Terry spent much of the day cleaning and polishing
the aft part of the boat, and particularly the white casing around the life
raft,
which was serviced in Cork before we left,
They used metal clips on the straps around the raft to close it all up and
of course these are now rusting at a great rate.
Our " KITE " was returned by the sail
maker who said he was unable to repair it, He is not sure if it can be
repaired at,all. So we will just have to take it to S.A. where there is an
agent for these " Parasails, " Well thats according to Thomas, who sold us the
Kite in the first place.
We spent much of the day cleaning and meeting
different people around the place, just relaxing.
Dinner was a rack of lamb on board the boat, with
all the usual trimmings,
We had a visit from Casey and Henry from " Wild
Tigres " , Henry was already in flying form when they arrived and added to
his golden state
by having some neat Gin on the
rocks,, Ohhhhhh, we really had a laugh with him, and he was
sooooo funny in that state.
Henry is making the most on his time as he flies
home to the States next Friday.
Collette, thats Terry's wife, flies in here
tomorrow morning at 07.30, so we all decided to have an early night, except
Neil, who
kept our flag flying at the late night
parties,
Thats all for today,
Signed :- Stephen Hyde ( Skipper
)
