            We decided to stay here to watch the Festivities set up for the cruise ships, which anchor outside the bay and bring their passengers with shuttle boats to the beach.
            Inspired by Ulli’s (s/v Anni-Nad, Germany) photographic skills, we are trying to play with our own camera and pictures!
 
            Spot Ulli’s camera....

             As soon as we found out, that it was Nancy’s birthday we sang the internationally enjoyed Happy Birthday!
 
 
                                   Catherine, as always, impressed by the weaving skills. One hat is made of half of a palm leaf

            Another day, Melanie talked Catherine through the making of the Coconut leaf hat and insisted to make a hat also for Paul.
            When the hats dry out they turn brown and then white, it is then possible to paint the hats. Meanwhile colour is given by fresh flowers!

            Later in the day, the Kyrimba crew came along to say good bye to Melanie and she gave a display hat to each of them...

            Our time here in Kuto Bay and Ile des Pins is coming to an end and so is our time with
            Simon and Carolina from s/v Kyrimba and their lovely daughters Sarah(10), Emma(8) and Clara(6).
            We look forward to staying in touch and hopefully meet again one day, somewhere on this beautiful globe!
