A Very Special Day for a Very
Special Lady
Marlo at a special time
on a special date
We met at Tijax Marina at 11:30 to be
ready for 12:12.12 on the 12/12/12 to see Marlo celebrate such a day in real
style. Sailing yachts Beatrice, Hunda, Glee and Beez Neez, together for a very
unique Braai (Afrikaans for BBQ). Considering we all met for the first time in
Trinidad a few years ago, have all gone our separate ways over many miles and
had no idea we would all be together today, just proves what a rare community we
all belong to. The second the time was right Larry did the honours with the
champagne corks – two bottles of white and two bottles of red. Today was going
to get messy having fizz so early in the day.
First cork indicated poppers at the ready
Presents
and laughter
A hug from
Lady Mac
Flowers
from the marina staff, cake and parrot from Lord and
Lady Mac who also gave Marlo the most beautiful hand-painted
feather from Copan.
Candles and
wishes time. Blown out successfully – cake and more
fizz time.
At this point I’ll mention this pair
of reprobates. Brian say it was Lord Mac. Lord Mac says it was Brian. Whatever, Lady Mac cooked
supper aboard Hunda in a marina down river - the result was so much amber fluid
was consumed, Brian had to stay overnight........Brian (on the left) was quiet
to begin with this morrow, but was soon on full speed post a few ‘hair of the
dogs’. This was the first time Lord Mac took his very dark shades off. He
couldn’t look straight at the camera for this picture as it would scare small
children and animals.
Now there are those who write blogs
with no pictures, those with few words and a couple of pictures. Our Barmy Army
of readers demand full length and lots of action so the following trip to
the pool and our now famous Synchro Swimming Event has its own blog and is
currently shocking readers of Facebook.
The crew with stiff libations -
naturally
Lord Mac, Larry, Marlo,
Lady Mac and Big Bear
The Braai in full
swing, complete with prawn starter Larry
somehow managed to spear neatly, with some assistance from the
ladies
Bear and Marlo fighting the frijoles - team effort needed, don’t ask and Marlo shocked when
Bear manages to tip his entire dinner, complete with pork chops into his lap and
on the floor. I burnt my poorly toe. Yes
Dear. Never one to waste food it was soon scooped up and tucked into, despite
groans from round the table.
ALL IN ALL SUCH A GOOD FUN
