Blue Magic is looking very festive and we are moored in Phi Phi Don for Christmas with lots of good friends from the Blue Water Rally:

 

Miss Tippy

Jackamy

Fai Tira

Enchantress

Lucy Alice

Sol Maria

Aspen

Chisel

Island Kia

 

Christmas Eve we went ashore and found a restaurant amongst the maze of walkways for dinner, we then met up with everyone at the ‘Hippy Bar’ on the beach to watch the live fire show.

The beach was an array of neon lights, huge decorated Christmas trees and thumping music, open air Ibiza !!!

 

We watched the fireworks at midnight sat on the deck of Blue Magic.

 

This morning, Christmas Day, we woke to bright sunshine and flat mirrored water in the harbour. We made tea, opened the chocolate biscuits and gave out our  pressies. Lots of goodies from home – thank you Mum & Dad for the chocolates and Tina and Mike for the huge Christmas pudding.

 

Charlotte – you are a star ! pick and mix, panattone, hot chocolate and marmalade – yummy !

 

Charlie and Katie bought out all new scatter cushion covers for the saloon – so Blue Magic is looking very designer.

 

By 9.30am we were in the dinghy delivering Christmas cards and presents to the other yachts, stopping on Miss Tippy for a glass of bubbly before returning for a traditional breakfast of grapefruit ( pamplemouse this year) toast, ham and mustard, marmalade and cheese.

 

Now it is getting Hot, Hot , Hot and we are going snorkelling to cool down !
