TUESDAY 22nd
FEBRUARY 2011
we had plenty of rain again last night, It is great
the way it seems to rain mostly at night.
but it does mean that we cannot leave the windows
open when going to bed.
skipper went for an early morning swim, no
crockadiles around here to worry about. he also cleaned the waterline on the
starboard side, it is covered in weed, will do
the port side tomorrow, but it is not as dirty,
The water was lovely and refreshing,
later, we cleaned the toilets from head to toe,
this took a few hours, but they were shining when we were finished,
and a job that was long overdue.
Skipper is still trying to sort out the batteries,
It looks as if they will have to be shipped out to granada, but at
least
it is much more cost effective than trying to get
them locally. and thats if they could be got locally in the first place.
We had a light Tuna lunch with the "First Mates"
brown bread / cake. just perfect for the lunch and a way better than last nights
dinner.
The temperature in the saloon was 30 degrees at
3pm, and the humidity was 60% all very nice and comfortable,
Later , we went ashore to the beach, where Aileen
had a swim,
One thing we noticed about here , The dogs
and cats, they are everywhere and the bird life is thriving here as
well,
However, there are no seagulls, not one to be seen
anywhere,
We did a walk about after the swim, and the place
is very pretty, and a lot of money is being spent on renovating the
old buildings and churches. Brazil seems to
be in good times at present.
We later returned to the boat and Aileen did the
dinner tonight, a curry chicken and rice, all very tasty, yum, yum,
skipper had a large G&T to celebrate doing as
little as possible,
Stefan sent a text to say he was on the mend after
his operation yesterday.
Thats it for today,
Signed :- Stephen Hyde (
Skipper )
