Conner put it wonderfully , Happy to leave Mauritius , sorry to see it
gone. Its always a conflicting mix of feelings when leaving port to head
out to sea. You want to stay , but you know that you need to leave.
Although Port Louis was and is a bit rough around the edges , there is a
certain charm about it. The People are friendly enough , Not in the way
that the Saints ( From St Helena Island ) are , but Mauritians are happy
enough to smile and have a chat ( If they are not trying to rip you off
when buying onions ). Once again we rushed through customs , checked our
last e mail and headed off. There was a certain quietness today as we
watched the island seemly disappear on the horizon. 3000 Miles to go ,
lots of water to cover . Watching the weather files as a small cyclone
forms 700 Miles North of us. Looks like it will pass us and head towards
Africa. Heres clenching our but cheeks , had enough wild weather so far.
