MONDAY 5th
APRIL 2010 Easter Monday ...............In
Nuka Hiva, Marquises Islands , South Pacific.
08'00hrs, Donal and Aileen got up and went
for a swim,
skipper stayed in the sctatcher untill
10.00hrs. ( must be 40 years since the last time he did
that,)
Donal and skipper had another look at the
generator, Skipper read the manual this time before fiddling. it usually
helps.
Aileen went ashore to do a bit of exploring and
have lunch,
We think she is suffering from a lack of female
company on board,
We just had a lazy afternoon, a few showers here
and there.
The Skipper had a conversation with daughter " Leah
" in Dublin on the Sat Phone, Modern technology is so
usefull.
19.00hrs Skipper and Donal joined
others for Dinner in the Pearl Lodge Hotel, It was very good too.
a couple of brandys after the meal and we all
returned to the boats,
the surge in the harbour was big , and we had a
bumpy night on the boat.
many oyher yachts arrieved overnight.
Aileen watched a Girlie film on the
tv.
Thats it for now.
Signed :- Stephen
Hyde ( Skipper )
