Our Great Day and Night Out
and To Crater Bay This Morning
  Monday the 2nd of
September. Five thirty this morning, as is becoming a bit of a habit, I
watched the sunrise. If I’m lucky I get a couple of
hours sleep before real wake-up time. Very tranquil and peaceful
though.
 Behind us Canace looked particularly pretty.
 Chores this morning, Kevin and Irma
over to lunch and fun refreshing our guests on the backgammon field. We went
ashore this evening to the Sakatia Lodge for supper
with the crew of FOB (Four On Board is the polite meaning, there is
another.....). From left to right: Jane, Robin, Bear, Tracy, Kevin, Craig and
Irma.
 I do so love the stunning weave of the roof here.
 The wall
lamps looked like they were wearing hula skirts.
   The
serviette was folded in such a way that the spoon became the head of a
person wearing a trouser suit. My overwhelming thought was that of a hand....
Starter was cold asparagus soup, followed by chicken and
rice, then lemon tart. On Beez we had eaten
and assumed we would make a poor attempt – so delicious we all cleared our
plates – double stomping tomorrow then....... Such a fun evening, always easy
with a group of South Africans. Then came the journey home.
  Much giggling as the two dinghies had
to be lugged a very long way across the beach at very, very
low tide. To find enough water below to mince across the turtle grass and
back to the yachts took some time. Laughter all the way.
  Tuesday the 3rd. We
left Sakatia late morning, I did the laundry as Bear took the watch – autopilot
behaving beautifully. At midday I was called out to wave at three monohulls and
two catamarans heading from whence we had come. The cats were Icarus
(on the left) and Nauti Nauti. Must catch up with Allen and Patricia
soon, last seen for a game of Mex Train with The Scotties at Rebak Marina at the
beginning of the year.
 A local, at
speed, coming in beside us to Crater Bay.
  We tried to anchor between the marina
buoys but the various noises had me running back to where we were the first time
we visited. This lady came in, she is becoming a familiar sight. Sadly, the
boat that clonks terribly was in our spot so we went further
on.
ALL IN ALL A SMASHING
TIME
GREAT COMPANY AND LOVELY
SCENERY |
