Here, we're trying to get the boat 'lined up' so we can lift her out using the crane. The attempt failed, we got stuck broadside on to the hard.
And this was almost 'high and dry'!
Pause for thought, or contemplating jumping in? I don't remember, except it was a tense time.
Smiley (Henning), Romina and yours truly. Can't imagine WHY I'm smiling, nervous exhaustion or relief I suppose.
DONE IT!!!!!
Henning, yours truly and Peter the German.
Note plasters on Henning's legs, we were both cut to buggery after fooling around on the reef, but his turned sceptic. I swalled a handful of anti-biotics and was OK.No, that's not anti-biotics that we're holding.
Well, hopefully the nightmare is almost over. One fianl (I hope) twist. I was taking a photo in town and had my wallet stolen whilst doing it! Once I realised what had happened I chased up the street after the bugger. I got to the top of the road and asked a security guard if he'd seen anybody passing (this was from a side street). The only person he pointed out was wearing a red baseball cap and red T shirt, not what my friendly pickpocket had been wearing. WRONG. Whilst we were considering running after him anyway he got into a taxi. Taxi did a U turn, and 'he' took off the baseball cap and red T shirt. We (me, security guard and two onlookers) ran out into the road but didn't get the taxi number. Cards cancelled and replacements on the way. Happy Christmas Peter!
That should of course read 'Pepe's Big Bear'. I'll take her word for that! About the time this was taken so was the wallet.
