Yesterday we left Port St Louis and went to Prickle
bay. We are now at anchor taking sunday off.
I took a long ride in the kayak in very strong wind
gusts (about 25 knots), then we have just worked on small things.
I spent at least 2 hours with the
book.
Erika had a friend Maja from Elin on
board.
Ellinor has worked with needle and
thread.
And tonight we had a picknick on the beach with the
family from S/Y Elin, Kalle, Emma, Emmas mother and father (they are
visiting) and Love. As we sat there I know Emmas father is interested in
kayaks, I offered him to borrow mine and he really would like to get out. We
talk about his kayaks (yes kayaks) and I realize he built them himself. Then he
talks about different techniques and I start to realize he really knows what he
is talking about. Then I realize he is the guy behingd Tomasdesign, my guru when
I started out paddling (and still is, I have read about everything he has
written about kayak design). The guy is a ton of knowledge and
experience!
Tomorrrow we will spend all day touring the island,
will get back on that.
