I woke up with horrible toothache - not sure why as I wasn’t aware I did
anything to a tooth yesterday, I have embarked on a course of self medication to
hopefully treat it and if not will be having to find a dentist - apparently
there is possibly one on an island nearby but as all the islands are very
primitive I’m not sure about visiting one here! We had a very slow sail to
another uninhabited island of Esnasdup to meet up with Stu and Steph from
Matador who we first met in Barbados in 2012. There were already 3 boats at
Esnasdup when we arrived, you have to head into the anchorage from the west so
the light was not good and we couldn’t see the shallows and relied on the
charts. not long after we anchored Matador arrived, Steve went to say hello and
later they came over for a catch up beer or two! It’s great to see them and as
they have been in the area for a while it’s good to get local information like
where the fruit and veggie boat is likely to be - we were going to go into the
nearest town Nargana to do some basic provisioning but if there’s a boat coming
out that’s much easier! One of the other boats here says there is a resident
crocodile on the island but we didn’t see it. Later 2 group 1 rally boats Island
Kea and Wild Iris came into the anchorage so we caught up with them as well
which was great.
