Success! Keith appeared with 2 langoustes. Not
actually wriggling but uncooked and chilled. They were delicious with
armoricaine sauce made [by K] labour intensively with real tomatoes and
basil and an old fashioned mouli.
Keith's other obsession for the last few weeks has
been to get our horn working. He has been up the mast 3 times [not easy for
senior citizens] and finally decided he had had enough and found a helpful
frenchman who has bought a new one and fitted it. He sailed here from France via
the red sea alone with his one year old son...washing terry nappies in sea water
with a rinse in fresh water! The mother has now taken the
child off to Switzerland.
Aiming to set off for Australia tomorrow or the
next day depending how long it takes us to clear out.

The Frenchman also put 4 vertical battens into our
mainsail so I expect to go much faster from here on.
