Andreas can come up with really funny thoughts,
yesyerday he said, "when I get older I have to change name"
"Why" asked Elllinor
"Well Andreas is a boy name,so I can't be called
that when I get old"
"What name would you have then?"
"Staffan, maybe"
As I opened the small book where I write things
like that I found small treasures:
This one is a few years old:
"Andreas, what do they call a guy who flies a
plane?"
"Andreas for instance"
Or this one
"Andreas if you wake up, try to stay in bed and
fall a sleep again"
"What do I do if I dream in english and do not
understand what they are saying?"
Yesterday
The wind slowed down to 20 knots, felt like a
calm.
So in the afternoon we decided we had to get ashore
and move our legs. Go to Fernando and buy some baguettes.
Well even in 20 knots the dinghy ride was a small
adventure.
Ashore we walked to the village, and the bakery was
closed!
To bad. We learned that different parts of the
village is competing every evening in traditional dancing.
Last night it was the Blue group and they would
start at 7.30 pm
Well at 7.30 it is dark and we felt that with
our small dinghy and the uncertain weather we did not dare to go back in the
dark.
But we met the family from Kaweskar, they are from
Chile, the kids have been playing with Amelia on board.
They where ashore and offered we could drive back
in pair (they have a big dinghy with 25 hp!).
So we decided to stay and look at the dance. It was
marvelous!
Last night it was a tribute to the black
pearl.
The cutest where the kids of course, in great
costumes making the hula hula movements like pros!
The orchestra was fantastic and they synced on
splitseconds with the dancers movements.
Sometimes the rain was pouring down like a shower
and in the midst of this a young woman was performing some sensuell
dancing.
Impressive. But the wind was picking up again. So
we asked if our kids could go in the bigger dinghy.
We had hand held VHFs and could
communicate.
So Ellinor and I started out before, we walked back
to the dinghy that we left a kilometer out of the village. It was COLD and we
had no clothes for that.
Got in the dinghy and the wind was 30 and above,
the waves where crazy, Ellinor and I where soaked even before we left the little
protected lagoon.
Out there our little 2,5 hp engine was working, and
working , and working against the waves and the wind.
Slowly but surely we got to the boat. We where
exhausted, we had to lay down to keep the dinghy as steady as possible and to
create as little windcatch as
possible.
Soon after came the kids in the big dinghy (well it
is more a rib) and even they had been soaked.
All fell asleep very tired and very safe on Salsa
again!
