7th/8th January
Early this morning the people who work here at the
Yacht club came to move us over
to the other side. Firstly, the wind blew us out of
the opening to the Club and we ended
up in the mud. When we finally made it to the
mooring that we were to have, we found
that it's very, very shallow here. Every time the
tide goes out it is only 1,5 meters under
us. We are sitting in mud. I'm glad that I'll be
going home soon and I wont have to watch
when Lars finally leaves the harbour.

boat The
Yacht club is like a little village
Problems, problems, problems. Everything is falling
apart. First the A/C stopped
working about 3 days ago and now it's the
batteries. It's not just little things either.
I've been saying to Lars that I could smell an eggy
smell for days and now we know
it is the batteries. 2 of them are empty, which
means they have to take out all 8 batteries
and check each one and then fill them up again.
Lars and Thomas thought t would mean
buying new ones but instead they only need filling
up, which is good. Also the A/C will be
looked at on Monday.

We went out last night, got into a Taxi as this
area is a bit dicey and drove about 2 minutes
to a very high class restaurant. The food was to
die for and the service was first class.
Lars and I started with crab meat in it'¨s shell,
Thomas had oysters, then a very Brazilian
dish with prawns and lobster in a tomato sauce and
then lobster both in butter and grilled.
I had desert which was lemon merangé
pie.
