Hi Folks,
We have had a few days of clear skies and warm
sunny days which has been good as we have been trucking loads of gear out of
Zephyr to the store, we finished the bulk of it by the Sunday evening and then
started lifting the fore peak decks and cleaning out , all restowed and
ship shape by beer o/clock , then it was off to town , Phaia for a Thai and
I don't mean the female variety just a meal , old navy habits I'm afraid ..
anyway it was a top nosh establishment and didn't fail to excite my taste bud's
, the crew Lyn,Rob and Ruth have been complaining about my emissions from the
neither regions for the past few days , I put it down to the bee Tui to be
precise which is a Indian pale ale and taste rather good, Phil you would have
been proud of me , I can clear a area the size of Manhattan in a bar within 30
seconds !
Thing on that front have subsided at last
though ,I thought they were either going to get a charcoal filter and place it
were the sun don't shine or put me back in the Veg locker , I have been spared
that for a long time but I think things on the nasal front were getting
desperate ..
After the excellent quisean , we went along
to a local bar "Beachcombers" were a yachtie we had met was performing at talent
night, it was more like a jamming session, brill night with the guys really
banging it out and for the musos out there you would have taken you hat off to
these guys, four sets of bongos, a base, two electrics, Fender and Burns, and a
Rasta on tom toms , what an unlikely bunch but an awesome sound and one Checkers
would have been proud of .
One thing we forgot though was this is a
rural area and taxis stop about 11 pm , we rolled out of the bar expecting to
pick up a cab " Wrong" good job the weather was fine as we had a five kilometre
walk back to Opua and didn't see one car the whole way !
That will teach us to have a good time
!
