Farewell – For Now, To
Zebedee
We had farewell drinks yesterday with
Alan and said we would be on duty at six thirty this
morning (before the wind gets up) to see Zebedee off, on his way to The
Pearl Islands. We did laugh when Alan suggested we would probably ‘beat him’ to
The Galapagos Islands where we would once again be welcome to a glass of his
exceptional home-made rose wine.
We were to be ‘on hand’ just in case
Zebedee’s nose got too close to other yachts in the tightly packed anchorage. We
had all had to put out so such anchor chain there was no knowing where Zebedee
would really end up before being free. We watched in awe as Alan wound in the
anchor, the wind staying quiet during the process and then witnessing the expert handling of the Yuloh as Zebedee silently moved
off.
Zebedee heads over to
say ‘farewell’ to Beez
As if by order the breeze gently
awoke, Alan hoisted the front sail and the sun began to rise.
The result – a
classic shot of man and boat
We sat idling in Baby Beez and just
took in the scene
Back aboard Beez we watched as Zebedee disappeared, hoping to meet this
unique pair again.
ALL IN ALL FAIR WINDS AND
FOLLOWING SEAS TO BEEZ FRIEND |
