Yesterday was spent buying a few loaves of french
bread, and some other necessities. We posted off a package to Norway, stuff they
would probably have taken off us on arrival in Oz. Hope this one arrives, the
one we posted from Tahiti has still not arrived, I think they may have strapped
that to a slow swimming turtle or something, how can anything these days take 3
months to go from Tahiti to Oslo?
Well, we left Port Mosell heading south, of course
the wind, that was northerly when we were heading north, has swung again and is
now southerly! It is quite exciting travelling places at 4.5 mile per hour, one
has a great oportunity to study the scenery, several times, at grreat
length, and even to go back and check that one has not missed anything! we also
had swapped Amanda for the two boys for the trip down, thus ensuring a quiet
pecefull trip..............
However we made
it in to this little bay, and headed ashore for sundowners on a very corally
beach, Amanda and Debs zipped off to find some shells, but unfortunately most of
them were damaged, but quite a few splendid Nautilus shells, lookinf forwards to
the next anchorage, hopefully we will find a complete one there!
SOmeone came up with the brilliant idea of the
kids eating on LB, and the adults having jumbo prawns aboard VH ( I
think it was probably me!). Never invite 5 kids onto your boat, and then ask
them to decide which movie to watch! We ended up just leaving them to sort it
out, they all survived, and the bruises will go away fairly soon I
guess.
A very pleasant meal, nice chats,and then back
to our own boats for an excelent nights sleep, woke up this morning to a gentle
breeze, birds singing ashore, and both kids still fast asleep, of course it is
0620.
