Thank you to Daphne and Mike for owning and running such a beautifully placed marina, thank you for the care you take not to negatively impact this natural piece of jungle and the well deserved trust you put in your fabulous team.
 
A Massive ‘Thank You’ to
 
Jefe – you have been our surrogate dog, always making such a fuss of us and going nuts when we have returned from our At-Ventures.
 
Byron, Angel, Ricardo for keeping Beez Neez’ hull clean, and taking care of her when we were away on our trips away. Thank You.
 
Dora for all your office work. Thank You.
 
Leonel and Victor for guarding Beez Neez and ensuring her safety and well-being. Thank You
 
Lidia, Marlene, Gladis and Alex for being such patient waitresses and waiter especially when all we could say was “hello” and “thank you”. Thank You All.
 
Mary, Angela, Blanca, Martha for all the meals you cooked for us when it was Bear’s turn once a week, film nights and the odd times we needed your fine cocktails. Thank you for so beautifully preparing ‘Pepe’s Salad Mandarina – much modified – sin cilantro, sin ajo, sin cebolla, sin jengibre, con pollo. Thank You.
 
Camila and Gaby for the odd times I needed ‘big’ stuff washed and folded. Thank you.
 
Manuel for overseeing everything and being a fantastic and tolerant manager. Thank You.

Tortugal – our final nighttime look
 
 
Last but not least to Rhum and later Jonas for becoming such good friends. We wish you all the very best with Bad Idea and will read your blogs with interest. See Y’all Down the Road.
Safe Winds and Following Seas.
Rhum, I’ll pay the thirty pence I owe you when I see you in the Pacific.
That’s a promise. Pepe doesn’t say that word very often as it’s too important to her.
 
 
We wish every good fortune for the future of these hard-working, gentle, caring, honest and very decent people.
 
A Blessed Christmas and a Very Happy New Ears
 
 

Merry Christmas 2

 

 
 
 
 
ALL IN ALL WE WILL MISS THIS SAFE HAVEN
