Hi Folks,
 
Still on location , Sunday , up bright and early after a pretty awful night of winds and rain , very squally all night , proceeded to the village in Z boat to get the bread and other goodies , caught in one of those unexpected squalls and got absolutely drenched and all this before 6 o/c in the morning .. Rob and myself sat or rather stood like drown rats on the jetty under a palm tree hut , a couple of locals in (Product) good old Landrover 110 were on the jetty and offered us a lift , we weren't in a position to argue so we hopped in and they took us to the bakery and back to the jetty , we expected the usual Panama how much, but had a bounjorno no problem which was much appreciated by myself and Rob ..
 Arrived at Rhythm with there goodies of copious amounts of bread , then arrived back onboard and got the pot on , ten min later we were sat at the table scoffing fresh quasons and pano chocala , in the middle of the Pacific , o la la ... and very nice it was to .
Next mission was getting the info from our French and Brazilian friends on Dolci Vita , they have toured the Island extensively so we have cherry picked the best bits and once sorted here will proceed around the island to the other side following his route .
 Next was the turn of the Computer guy in the fleet to visit , Rick from Panacea , an American guy who checked out the Dell laptop , he must have the Midas touch because he turned on the knackered laptop and it came on and functioned , this is coming to you from it , its first transmission for six weeks ! and we downloaded a UGRIB , I am still shocked and amazed , hope when we shut it down it starts again , problem with the Dell laptop is a spamming virus .. so we will have to get our virus tools updated and purge the system ..
Off to Ikes for Sunday roast tonight , and some astro lessons !
 
A happy bunny .....
