Saturday yesterday, and it was about time to have a
"monday meeting". The last one was on Isabela over a month ago.
Everybody seemes to be happy with the preparations
and the way we got here. It was a long sail indeed but all went
well.
Compared to other boats we seemed to have made it
in good speed.
The hard part for the adults was getting here and
jump on work still being tired from the watches.
Everybody loves this place and the meeting was just
as usual, with Andreas making comments about things that he thinks are
important, like: How do we get more airplanes into the Ipad? (He is flying a
simulator program when they have Ipad day)
The goal for the day was to climb the mountain up
to the top and we actually made it. We measured it 350 meters (there are other
tops that are probably higher but this one is duable just walking). 350 meter
might not sound much but it is very steep and hot to walk up. People from other
boats where surprised that our kids made it. And they did, Andreas surprised us
by almost running to the top at the end. Erika was more normal and tired when we
got up. We brought fruit and had a "lunch" on bananas, pampelmousse and
oranges.
Walking down was easier but still tought on the
legs. On board we just jumped in the water and enjoyed the swim a lot. Dinner
was made with fried tuna, fried bananas (red food bananas, they where great) and
a mix of coconut,red pepper, lime and salt. Lovely plate that looked so
different from anything we have eaten before. The kids had some and it helped to
bribe them. If they eat well they could make panncakes. And they did them by
themselves, Erika who loves to experiment with food, put cacao in the mix and
they had chockolade pankakes (did not look to good to be honest).
We are getting ready to move on now, but we have
some more work to do. We will move to some other islands in Marquesas before
taking off to Tuamotos.
