Dick's Place
Ashore
 We actually woke up to sunshine, no
wind, blue skies and Sheer Tenacity looking
good at the front of the pack.
 Knowing the weather is due to turn
nasty by Thursday we have been hoping for a buoy to become available. Bear went
ashore to collect our filled gas cylinder and in a flurry of activity raced home
to say we were moving in five minutes. Steve was sitting holding buoy number 16
and helped Bear with the ropes. Looking at Beez
sitting in the sunshine it’s hard to
believe that storm force winds from the north are due.
  An adrenaline
lady is safely tied and wash day on a happy
coloured lady.
 Well, within a hour Scott-Free was also on a buoy. This is excellent
news as we all fancy going on a land tour to escape the weather.
 We went ashore to enjoy the sun and
see the world go by, well in this case a coconut
frond.
  We walked past some holiday chalets and along the well kept
path.
  We met Rod and Mary at the beach, it
was lovely to have the crews of Beez, Scott-Free and Sheer
Tenacity back together. Sitting by the pool in Dick’s Place, chatting with
friends, Bear had a sandwich and I had a burger.
  We sat down to the tide in but by the time we had finished lunch it had
gone out quite a long way. Bear had a snooze and I
went to explore the puddles. Tiny beige starfish, little fish, fiddler crabs,
cucumbers, enough to keep me occupied until it was time to have a paddle in the
pool.
 Feeling content in the sun we saw a
tray of cocktails being delivered, we had to have some ourselves and soon a lovely lady came our way. The first mudslide since the
Caribbean, not as thick, not as good but it certainly was a treat.
  Maj ordered a
strawberry marguerita that was a handful to keep up with as it
melted.
 We had showers and en route for a
sundowner we stopped to watch these chaps feeding in
circles.
  Bear and Steve followed the cocktail
line with a Planter’s Punch, I took a sip and it
tasted like Veno’s cough syrup. I went for an easy pina
colada.
 Not that dusk shows it but at six o’clock it was if someone flicked
a switch and suddenly a chill wind blew up. Time for home.
ALL IN ALL WONDERFUL TO SEE
THE SUN UNTIL THE WIND CAME
SUNNY PARADISE AT
LAST |
