To Maurole, Flores
Island
 Just after six thirty we were ready
for the thirty eight mile, coast hugging journey to Maurole, just five boats to wake up and make a similar
move.
 As we set off the
clouds looked impressive over the mountains.
 We went out a fair
way to avoid the FADS (fish attracters) but they seem to be quite
randomly placed.
 The clouds begin to
rise.
  A quick look
around and we settle to Tri-ominoes, I’m still
twelve behind........Growling........Huh.
 Passing a
potential anchorage with good snorkelling.
 In fact, several
little hidey-holes.
 Out to our right another FAD, wouldn’t want to do this coast in the
dark.........
 Hybresail enjoying the afternoon.
 Afar
VI heading in to the anchorage.
 The anchorage of
Maurole, we choose the far right by the telephone tower, pretty good
internet but not strong enough to send blogs, oh well. We found the river exit
an two metres below.
 Flags out in
welcome for the rally boats. Tomorrow night is the gala
dinner.
 Todays
journey, safely anchored at half past two. We enjoyed lunch in the
cockpit, I lost badly at backgammon – more growling. Val and Richard
(Kereru) popped over for a chat and after they had left we enjoyed a
swim around Beez, waving to the local fishermen as they made their way
home.
 A local passing
by as we watched the sunset. Bear fancied corned beef, a dollop of mash
and salad for supper. Happy food. I had salad, shaved parmesan and bacon bits.
Very happy food.
 ALL IN ALL A PEACEFUL DAY
SAVE FOR MY LOSSES
LOVELY SCENERY TO A QUIET VILLAGE
