Godt Nyttår til dere alle!
Det ble en annerledes nyttårsfeiring. Vi og de ombord i "Millennium" hadde bestillt bord på en av
øyas restauranter, Basil's Bar & Rest.
Tror det var ca 200 i det lille lokalet hvor sjøen
slår opp under gulvet.
En av Karibiens mest populære sanger med band stod
for musikken. Vi hadde regnet med og hørt at her var det stort
fyrverkeri, men den gang ei.
Kun 5 raketter/"småfiser" gikk opp fra sandstranden
utenfor. Ingen av de store båtene hadde fyrverkeri. Sannsynlig vis var pengene
brukt til
dyr champagne!
Vi hadde det imidlertid bra og vil nok huske denne
natten lenge. Da vi våknet i dag, lå det en stor tankbåt
ankret
ved siden av oss. Den leverer olje til øyas
dieselaggregater. Det spares ikke på strømmen på kveldene her, rundt om
og i de svære palassene!
Vi sier farvel Mustique og seiler tilbake til
Bequia i ettermiddag.
Happy New Year to all our friends.
This was a special New Years Eve! Our friends
onboard "Millennium" and us, had booked a tableat Basil's Bar & Rest.
We think there must have been about 200 people in
that little rest., where the sea came through the floor, if a big wave and
swell
rolled in.
One of the most famous singer with his band, were
there to entertain and so they did the whole nigth. Quite
"heavy"!!!
We thougth and had heard that this was the island
with the most fabulous firework, but we were disapointed. Only 5 small "things"
came from the shore beside us...
It was obvious that these rich people living
here, have used their money on expencive champagne.
Anyway, we had a splended time and will
remember it for ever.
When we wake up this morning, a big tanker was
laying beside us. These people living here need a big supply to generate their
electricity, seeing how radiant and glorius
their houses and plants around them are lit up at
nigth. A firework in it self.
We say "goodbye" to Mustique to day, sailing back
to Bequia for some days.
