07.00hrs Another beautifull day, skipper cleaned
the cockpit after last nights dinner, and then did the blog and sorted out the
emails etc, while the rest had a good rest in their
cosy berths,
10.00hrs We weighed anchor ( with a little
difficulty) and motored 6 miles SW to the capitol Village of the
Island.
A very small little place , filled with happy
people.
S & A spent some time ashore and got some small
items such as beer and soft drinks, ( bloody expensive here.) We also met
the crews from " Voyaguer" and " Ronja "
ashore, The Ruud family are on board Ronja with some of the kids
friends and come from Norway,
There are at least six of them on board their
" Jeanneau SO 49DS.and are good company.
We all had some ice cream, and nearly cleaned out
the village of their stocks.
13.00hrs Back on board, Aileen set about
making some brown bread, while D & S made the boat ready for going to
sea.
15.30 With the smell of freshly baked wafting
around the boat, we weighed anchor once more, this time the anchor took
a long time to free it from the blooming coral
rocks.
16.00 We cleared the entrance channel
ane set the sails in a nice E 20knot breeze, Ohhh what lovely
sailing.
We have lef a beautifull place, but there are many
more such places around here that we must explore.
20.00hrs, Dinner by Fats, this consisted of a
stew, and was just yum yum,

know.
