TUESDAY 20th APRIL
2010
Rangiroa, The Tuamotu Islands, South Pacific.
06.00hrs We all got up early again,
another beautifull day.
07.00hrs Aileen and Stephen went to the Diving
Center, Stephen for his diving classes and Aileen went on to do a visit to a
pearl farm.
Donal stayed on board for the morning,
reading
Skipper did 2 dives in the morning , plus did the
written exhams and passed with flying colours.
A & S wentfor lunch in the " Raora Lagoon "
Pension restaurant, and it was so good, that they book dinner for the 3 of us
this evening at 19.00hrs.
Donal had lunch with some of the other crews in the
cafe at the pier,
14.30hrs The skipper went off again for more
diving, this was to be the last of 8 dives in 3 days, and he was feeling fairley
fecked.
16,30 Skipper finished,with blood
coming down the nose and the ears totally blocked. thinking that diving was for
others and not for him.
however he has a " PADI " cert , and thats that,
We went back to the boat, cleaned up and went
ashore again to the " Raora Lagoon Restaurant " for
dinner,
we had prawn starters with all the trimmings,
followed by a set maincourse of grilled sword fish, and it was
delicious,
dessert was chocolate and ice cream........yum
yum Death by chocolate.
we met all the diving crew at the restaurant and
had a great evening all round .
taxi back to the pier and out to " A LADY" by
rib, a night cap and into the scratcher for a well earned
sleep.
Thats it for today.

Hyde, ( Skipper )
