Tuesday 9th June - As of midnight I was at
position 14:42.07S 147:04.83W
On Monday night I was invited over for drinks and dinner buy
the only other boat in the anchorage. The owners were a New Zealand
couple who had bought the boat in the States and were slowly making there way
back home. The wonderful thing was I was served me up the most amazing bit of
Steak I have had in some time, it was thick, juicy and rare just how I like it.
I think my body almost went in to shock after having to digest the delicious
red meat. Well anyhow after the typical discussion of do you have any
DVD’s to swap I was shown how to copy and burn DVD’s. This
obviously excited me as I can now borrow complete sets of DVD’s rip them
and then give them back and it only takes about 20 minutes per DVD. All I need
now is a whole heap of blank DVD’s so I know where I will be going when I
make it to Tahiti.
I left the Anchorage
about 12:30PM this time I set the boat to Auto and I stood up on top of the
dingy so I could see if there were any coral heads I needed to be careful off.
All was fine so I headed off slowly out into the deep with a lazy 8 Knots of
wind pushing Silky slowly towards her destination while I kicked back and read
a book.
