Hi Folks,
Still at anchor in Rangiroa, not much wind to
escape to Tahiti yes but lots of lovely warm rain , had a great down pr
yesterday , it lasted a whole 3/4 of an hr we filled our buckets and containers
and did a bag full of washing , collected more and filled the boats water tanks
it was so refreshing just to stand in warm rain the droplets were large and
profuse so it was a great massive power shower , a twenty litre bucket filled in
less that 2 mins ..
In the evening we were hostesses with the
mostess again this time to Slipineer Two , its the( Austrian couple)
who had there boat struck by a large log mid ocean and limped into the Marquises
to do repairs , they are waiting on calmer weather before setting off for
the 250 nm to Tahiti for repairs , good evening with our wine stocks
replenished from the shop , we found cartons for £3.80 each so with few
glasses of G&T first we reached a good state of alcoholic
inebriation...
Good food was produced by Master chef ...
with some strange oniony Russian Potato dish !and Pamplemoose (Large sweet
greapfruit suprise ! another exotic desert from Cpt Fluffy recipe book
, all very nice washed down with vino colapso ..
We have also started the ships inventory it will be
needed for the entrance to NZ so its up with all the deck boards and turn out
the cupboards to find things that have been long forgotten about and wonder why
we bought them in the first place .....
A crew waiting for the off
