For those that remember,about a year ago our
storage house caught fire and we lost everything we had gathered for the
trip.
We also lost most of our memories that we had kept
after moving out of our house.
Today, sitting in the shade at the Fig Tree
restaurant (that is more like a community for sailors than a restaurant),
Ellinor is reading a book, Erika skype with her best friend. All sitting in
shorts and T-skirts, almost 30 degrees C, it feels so fortunate, so
priviledged.
We are still in Bequia and it seemes to be hard to
raise the "hook".
I also got a "funny" job...
The owner of Fig Tree, Cheryl is a great generous
person that runs a community and tries to make some money from the restaurant.
Every morning she runs a radio broadcast called sailors net. This is a way to
announce news, interchange information etc. Weather is also broadcasted. When we
where chatting with Cheryl the other day she just sighted that it would have
been great to go to see her children in St Vincent but the radio net kept her
from doing so. So I offered to do it for her so now I'm the morning voice here
in the bay. That is funny because you get in contact with more sailors and
locals.The problem is that I have to get up 7.15 in the morning to prepare the
broadcast.
