To Tsara
Bajina
Up and ready for the off at eight
thirty. We left at low tide, a couple bimbling on the
beach.
Bear took the
wheel after the anchor was up (showing off his hair and beard cut from
last night). Once again the autopilot was not to be tamed (Bear thinks he needs
to re-site the compass from the office).
I used the time to empty the final
store bin below the lounge table where we sit. The packets
were dirty with diesel and seawater but other than needing a good
bath......
Mince and
rice washed and draining.
That done I went outside to see an island.
Our
destination – far left.
We watched so many
boobies dive on fish that made the surface look as if it was
boiling.
Tsara
Bajina.
Little
islets and reefs around the resort island.
Our
journey. No detail on the chartplotter. Our
route on Bear’s IPad. 12.75 nmiles.
Anchored off this small resort in seven
metres.
We saw a few people on the beach, what a setting for a remote
holiday.
Happy
locals came by offering us lobster but soon headed for the resort with
their catch. We settled to backgammon, Bear was four nil up, I managed to claw
back to four all but then Bear kept throwing double fours. My turn to snarl and
complain bitterly.
Cock up in the cockpit. Lunch. Bear
went below to get the makings. My habit for so many years is, as I finish with
something, pepper, mayo etc, I toss it gently to the doorway and Bear puts it
away. His wraps were made with care and all was well. However. Somehow I managed
to throw the sharp knife just as Bear put an unopened can of beer down. Quite a
fountain with an accompanied hissing sound, wailing from Bear as I pierced the
thing dead centre...... Could have been one of my
arteries spurting. Well, you know timing is everything.......
Growling.
A pretty sunset
in the making. Mex Train, I won, more growling, then as the sky was overcast we went in
to watch a few episodes and chill a bit. Off to Hellville on the morrow. The
sunset was indeed spectacular.
ALL IN ALL A CUTE LITTLE
HOP
