Mustique Janurary
11th
Got up at 8am and rowed
ashore to walk before it got hot. Walked up a hill with tortoises
guarding their own little gardens of short cropped crab grass. It
has been raining or showering on and off all day. We stopped at a
swanky hotel to see if we could afford breakfast, and moved on after hearing of
the $45 per head tab. Promises from Mum of 'I'll cook you anything when we
get back to the boat!'. We got a lift from an Irishman swathed with
gold, driving a 'mule', a local golf-carty thing, back to the
anchorage. He pointed out Princess Margaret's old house etc etc., and then
we went back on board for eggy-bread and grapefruit juice.
Two hours of school later,
which left us all feeling shattered, we went for a swim.
Otti cooked some lovely
cakes, then we played chess and went swimming. Chris has filled the dinghy
with tin cans that he has been diving for on the seabed at the anchorage,
tidying up.
For supper we had dasheen,
( I keep buying mysterious local vegetables and trying to cook them) which was
quite tasty potatoey stuff, and okra curry.
We are about to run out of
water and are off back to Canouan tomorrow to get some more. Miss
all of you folk back home!!!
