Christmas Day was overcast,but warm - a lot warmer than
the UK, but not as warm as Bonaire last year. For the 2nd year
running, we had Christmas lunch on the catamaran Troutbridge, along with skipper
Pete and 9 other yachties. It was a great pot-luck lunch with everybody bringing
allsorts of food and drink. Unlike the last two Christmases, there was no
swimming in the sea - too murky in the estuary anchorage and much too cold for
us softies used to tropical water temperatures.
Helen's Pavlova (from yacht Mantra) - it fed all 12 of us with
a bit to spare - that didn't last long!
