We woke to find stockings on our door. Moyra had been at work.

Then the most expertly made Bucks Fizz we have ever had thanks to Michael...... |
And then the whales came. We have looked at the photographs, watched the video and studied the book very carefully. Definitely Sperm Whales. 2 maybe 3. Wow. The video is fantastic and shows very clearly how they blow a cloud of spray forward. We felt very honoured that they came to see us just as we sighted land.

The perfect moment for Michael to use his father’s telescope. |
Sorry to point it out but look at the colour of the water.......

And now we have to try and remember our anchoring drills; and the fact that we had tied several extra knots on the anchor to hold it in place in the big waves. |
We are surrounded by superyachts....
But there are others like us around too.....
Down goes the anchor.......
and we know we made it...... 12 noon Christmas Day 2011.
