The build up for the start on Sunday is full-on
now. Shane and James have joined the Owl, and Charlie arrives (subject to
BA) tonight. Hope he's bought a costume as it's a fancy dress Circus party
at a nearby bar tonight. The food is nearly ready to be stowed - currently
occupying a whole hotel room. Carrefour and El Campo were where we founf
most of it... Ed did the shopping and the menu is still a mystery.
Richard has been sharpening his fishing hooks just in case....
Last night was the crew dinner for our pontoon at
the Yacht Club Varadero. Tapas, plate by plate, makes for a slow meal for
200 people... but they were delicious. The strange Russians from the
next door boat decided it was all too much for them and disappeared in the
middle of dinner. Lots of tutting from the English-mannered
owners.
Night Owl suffered a bit of damage on the stern
during a storm whilst we were away, the Spanish laminating man should be turning
up today to fix it.
More later...
