Day 6
The Caribbean Chill-out gauge is now at 00.001 and
gettin cooler!
Life on board is settling to the steady rythm of
beers ... caribbean coolers... and spicey cuisine from Paul..
The evening was rounded off by playing "Victoria`s
game" ( much hilarity and joviality ). - especially Arthur Scargill and
Maggie
Today Edison, ( Vice President of Yacht
Security iAssociation in Portsmouth Harbour ) took Ted and Capn Pete off to
customs where the formalities were completed at record speed - (about 60
minutes).. on the return we passed the local wrecks of coasters that had been
blown ashore from hurricanes. Then back for a late breakfast and then off
with Edison up the Indian River!
Beautiful scenery in the mangrove swamps - under
oar power we explored the creeks and streams of this mini Amazon. we saw
Aligators, Crocs, Barcudas, Land Crabs, Iguanas, Herons.- and....at the end of the cruise, we found a Jungle bar and guess
what..? Yes we had to try the "local Cocktails" - Dynamite was the most
popular.. and yep it blew our sandals off!
Tonight we are eating ashore at Purple
Turtle....
