06.00hrs, Up bright and early to another beautifull
day in paradise.
There is a nice S.E. breeze blowing and its a very
low spring tide,
07.30 hrs We go ashore ( dry landing) on
South Plazas Island, Lots of sealions along the shore mixed with sea
Iguana's
The Island is famous for its Land Iguana's and
there are plenty of these scattered all over the place,
They live on mainly cactus flowers and other small
flowers groing in abundance on the island.
There were also lots of Lava Lizzards and Darwin
Finches, Its amazing how these finches fly in between the tourists as if they
just another bunch of bushe's on the landscape.
11.30hrs We returned to the ship, where we weighed
anchor and set sail for Pto Ayro
14.00hrs, We arrieved at our destination and
dropped anchor just beside " A LADY" and had our lunch,
Most of those on board went off to the Darwin
Centre, while the skipper went to A Lady and got a blow by blow account of the
Tsunamie Night
from Fats, Kevin was already ashore travelling
around.
16.00 hrs Skipper went ashore and visited the
hotel that Sarah and Paul stayed in when they were here on their honeymoon a few
years ago.
Then up town and replaced the flippers broken
earlier in the year.
The skipper then had a call from Tess Hogan,
regarding the trip and the newspaper article in the " Echo" FRONT PAGE wow
about A Lady
and the Tsunamie, Sarah later read the whole
thing out for us.. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Listning to the storey unfold, It seemed to be an
article dedicated to !
19.00hrs Back to the Ship for dinner, our last
night on board the ship, Aileen collected the tips for the crew and Guide and
handed it over
before we went to the scratchers for another early
night,
We certainly had a great laugh with the other
sailors on board and got to know every one,
Signed :- Stephen Hyde, ( skipper
