Last night Kahia got thoroughly washed by our first
torrential rain. Lots of sail adjustments in strong wind
shifts under dark, heavy clouds kept us busy. As the cockpit was
wet Paul decided stay below to watch "From Paris with Love" with John
Travolta, enjoying it so much that he let me sleep for 6 hours. His
laughter did wake me up though a couple of times.
The night before on my watch, I had a different kind of
treat for Paul. A flying fish managed to fly through the galley hatch, flapping
frantically in front of the cooker and I had to wake Paul up
to administer the last rights... They are lovely looking fish but
extremely smelly, so inside the boat not a good surprise... How glad I was that
I sat in the cockpit and was not making a night cup, while that
happened. Poor fish try to escape on our approach but at night are not able
to see the boat, so bang against the hull or land on deck, but flying
through the hatch!!! Lucky it did not make it into the saloon bunk, where Paul
was sleeping...
