This afternoon Andrea took the five stitches
out of my finger using scalpel and tweezers. No slip ups despite the
rolling boat. Actually no pain at all.
This morning a yacht called Voahangy appeared
on our AIS. Voahangy was our next door neighbor for two weeks in Gran
Canaria. They called us on the radio and we talked about the wind and
fishing. They caught "one big mahi mahi and one the right size for
eating". Does the meat get tough or something if they are too
big? They also had a marlin but it escaped with the line.
Andrea rustled up a three course Italian
tonight. The starter was just breadsticks and olives but we reckon it will
still count in the daily culinary one-upmanship of the radio net. The
tiramisu was a work of art, given she had no Tia Maria and had to substitute a
concoction of rum, coffee and Banyuls.
Bertie spent the afternoon making a card for
Estella/s birthday on Tuesday. He could have got one in Gran Canaria but
it would have been in Spanish and might easily have said "sorry for the loss of
your dog" or something similar.
