Ambaru Bay 24th – 26th of July
  Wednesday the 24th of July. I spent the morning writing blogs and tried an episode of
Perception – refreshing and quite good. A katabatic wind blew up enough to stop
chores as we really wiggled and rolled. Later on I made carbonara as Mr.
Dickinson was mid castration. Bear spent a day disassembling, cleaning
and sealing the bad, bad leaky chap and his chimney. An afternoon of putting him
back together and then it was back to the ceiling
panel that needed repair.
 Early evening a bit of a sidestep.
Bear dropped his nut and bolt box. Curse words and a
fed up Bear. I settled on the bed and took charge of washers. Bear did the heavy
lower level bolts and we did the smaller ones together.
   Thursday the 25th.
Three in the morning and my body clock is still upside-down. I washed Bear’s two
cockpit chair cushions and blanket. Then I stripped the office and put the sheet
and quilt cover in to soak. By a quarter past nine the washing was on the line,
the sodden office mattress was outside airing and then I sorted the tin locker.
We have new friends, every time we cast a shadow in
the water out race six remora or suckerfish from their shelter under
Beez.
 Bear settled to cleaning the roof plate from over Mr. Dickinson. I washed the quilt from
the office.
 At dusk we were overcome with flying ants. I caught them and Bear dispatched them, really
don’t want any of them to take up residence.
 Friday
the 26th. I washed the office bed numbner, Bear set about regluing the panel above the kitchen corner next to Mr.
Dickinson.
   Our friends are
so fast but also the weirdest of creatures. Their sucker works from when
the fish are very small and they can grow to over five feet in length. They swim
backwards to affix themselves and forward to disengage. It is believed their
diet consists mainly of the poop of their host....... In
olden days, the remora was credited with the ability to stop a boat on its
tracks. In Latin, remora
means "delay", while the genus name Echeneis
comes from the Greek: echein - to hold and naus – a ship. Pleny
the Elder wrote that the remora was responsible for the defeat of Mark Anthony
at the Battle of Actium and therefore indirectly of the death of
Caligula.
 Their mouth
is above their beak.....
    Scruffing
about with some flotsam.
ALL IN ALL GETTING THERE BUT
BODY CLOCK...............
CALM PROGRESS
