Cocos has come and gone, the island we anchored off was uninhabited, I wanted to stand on the beach shouting Wilson.
Mosquito bites were the down side, but of the lady mosies were not eating me they would not make eggs so my contribution to the local ecosystem.
The sea has been a little boisterous and the rain a little more than required, we are route to Africa, famous for one of Meryl Streeps silly accents and a song by Toto.
