Today has seen the end to the average weather
pattern. It appears that the sun is back again and despite yesterdays blog we
are still in Misima.Tomorrow is our scheduled departure time. So today has been
a very lazy relaxing day giving us the time to collect the washing ,do a little
shopping and arrange the purchase of a new anchor winch which hopefully will
arrinve not long after my departure so that Cate does not have to haul in 50m of
anchor chain especially in Misimas muddy anchorage.
Speaking of Cate I feel it beholden of me to
mention that she does a first rate job of cooking whilst at sea from lemon,white
wine and butter Mackeral to Beef Stroganoff ,to amazing Pizzas to Noodle
Omlettes it is truly amazing what Cate can create in such a difficult
environment and without a moments hesitation. I would be in heaven living
this life of luxury back on the dry with a full kitchen.
Last night we headed out for a buffet (to give the
overworked Cate a break) of local cuisine consisting of lobster,curry,satay
chicken,and a great array of local veggies half of which I have never heard
of.The power was out so our pre dinner entertainment consisted of Cate and the
kids having hand puppet wars by kerosene lantern....who needs
television.
So we have clean clothes are well fed and are
contining to explore and hopefully catch more fish. Cheers fron the Bearded
stowaway.
