Another day in paradise everyone. Weather is v hot
today and we're moored up near Trellis Bay letting toastie sarnies go down
before a snorkel and a swim! Greg and I have both been at the helm and are
proving to be very able bodied seamen. I even managed to heave-to, which, to all
you lay-seamen is a very advanced manoeuvre designed to demonstrate how you can
actually stall a rather large sea-going vessel! Greg has loved snorkelling and
has been busy with the old under-water camera snapping some very lovely fish.
Margo and I went on a 'snorkel walk' and saw some gorgeous coloured fish as well
as a massive tarpon. SCARY! We have had man overboard when I made a less than
agile attempt to board the kayak! Good job I was off to do something wet at the
time. Greg is starting to miss his Pad walking and is feeling the pinch around
the waist band. Today, however, we have discovered a new pair of shorts that he
hasn't worn yet - those Bench ones from James and Vicky. Cocktail of the moment
is Painkiller which is a mixture of rum and a creamy or milky mixer with nutmeg
on the top! Will look what the mixer is made of to replicate at home as we can't
be popping to the BVI at the drop of a hat for cocktails.One major move forward
is no Beta blockers to board small aircraft even though they have propellers and
the driver gets out every time they stop to check everything is still
intact!
Happy New Year to everybody. See you soon. G and
D
