Dear diary,
Really good sleep last night which put us in good stead for the
difficult day ahead......we have had to apply suncream six times on
average, drinking a sum total of only six beers and 10 orange crush!
Hard Times! 'Our Kate' sailed us safely from 'The Bitter End' to 'The
Baths'. The journey was eased by some stronger winds, getting us to our
anchor just after lunch. After spending a couple of hours chasing fish
on the reef and creeping through the boulders we retreated to the shade
and sun cream bottles. [The bouldering is /totally/ (to be said in
american accent) off the hook man! ] (Penney, I./ Cruise, T.,
2008).Highlight was the iced sugar drinks we had in Virgin Gorda Yacht
Club. After 'our kates' first splinter injury today she stubbed her toe
on some coral, using the kitchen knife we have amputated the injured
limb, looking out for signs of gang green over the next few days. After
a pink sunset we have enjoyed a chilli supper and now await captains
permission to eat some chocolate chip cookies...Aye Aye Captain! Saw a
ray turtle and lots of multi coulered fish to add to the wild life list.
After a bit of after sun we shall go to bed. It has just started
raining......now pouring......
Farewell,
Laura and the gertha crew xxx
