A bit of a frustrating day today. One of those when
everything seem to go wrong. It started with the fridge and freezer that stop
working for no apparent reason. Mike worked quite a few hours on it and because
he is a hero, managed to get them to work again. Won't bore you with the
technical details but I can assure you that it is a long story!
He also cleaned the bilges which were filthy with
oil and started to get smelly. That was a horrible job and our poor captain was
covered in black oil himself.
He also did a few other little jobs and it is only
now, at 5pm that he has stopped working and is taking a well deserved
shower.
I have been baking bread and getting dinner ready
for our guests tonight. Had a swim around the boat with the seals and rays and
other fish.
It was nice to get a call from my Mum and then one
from Jamie. It is always so lovely to hear their voices and to have news from
home.
Thank you all of you who got worried about us and
sent us emails. Some of you don't understand why we can send this blog and not
have internet access. That's because the blog is sent via our Iridium satellite
phone which does not allow us Internet access.
We will try to get a connection when we are on land
so we can post you photos of where we are.
Happy Birthday to my brother Marc!
Love
Mike and Catherine
