Hi Everyone,
We are making steady progress, motor sailing at the moment,
to keep away from the weather, the weather router wants us south of Madagascar by the 8th November, on target at the moment.
Our poss. Lat-24.02.1S - Long-51.35.3E at 08.00 GMT 5th Nov.
Thought I would tell you about my experience in the cafe, where
I sent my last e-mails on Reunion.
When I was sending you the e-mail about the Island
from the harbour, Alan left to go and do some shopping,
The lady on the next table asked if she could have his
chair,(well she pointed to it, as I don't speak French) I said! yes, and put my hands on the arms to move, as I moved, the chair collapsed and I went flat on my back, everyone gasped! stared & some laughed! the
cafe boss! looked at me in discuss, pulled the back of the chair from under me (banging my head again) & threw it in to the cafe, and went Haa! as I got up he snatched the seat and threw that in as well, with another Haa!
So I got up, picked the 4 legs up, handed them to him,
he gave me another Haa! I picked the arms up and the same
Haa!
I didn't know quite what to do, so I looked at all the people
starring, and said,! Well it looks like I need to go on a diet then! everyone laughed! so I just picked up my Laptop & Bag and Left, just hoping I didn't trip up the curb as I went!
So went off with my head held high, a bruised bum & head!
We have seen 4 ships and and some birds so far, bye for now
Best Wishes, Love Margaret &Alan on our way to South Africa xxx
