Tuesday 5^th May – Monastir, Tunisia

35:46.823N 10:49.956E

We got up this morning and thought, we have definitely come far enough south now.  We had breakfast in the cockpit in shorts and swimwear – it was already hot enough at 8am!

We decided on giving Pyxis a good clean and tidy up, we opened all the hatches and gave down below a good airing; Richard rigged the passerelle whilst I cleaned and all was well with the world.

Then, just after lunch, the clouds approached with menace.  Then it rained. Yes, rain.  I seriously think I should be selling my services to the drought-ridden countries of the world. Then the thunder arrived – I can hear you all laughing now.

Anyway, the rain has cleared away and it has stayed warm.  We have finished the cleaning and tidying plus a few other odd jobs.

Con and Barb from Big Sky came around late afternoon for a sun-downer and we chewed the fat over what each of us has been doing since we last met, this time last year.

This evening I made curry with some onion flatbreads (recipe courtesy of Sarah on Cape) which went down very well.
