Hi Folks,
Sorry for the short blog yesterday but I had a spot
of Licquorish problems, it started the night before on a friends boat and by
yesterday evening I was bequesting my btm to any god that would stop it
... luckily this morning it was safe to leave the vessel and venture more that
200m from the porcelain throne known affectionately on here as a baby Blake ...
oh how I wish I hadn't had the can of Mexican Pacifico beer ... anyway I
awoke to a stunning backdrop of Cooks bay , this ranks with Oa Pou in the
marquasers with the added bonus of fresh French stick only 200m away by
dingy .
After doing a few chores around the boat which
included fitting "Wings" to our outboard engine leg , this has greatly enhanced
our performance just like the brochure said , which makes a change in the
boating world .. we set off to explore the
perifery of the bay, two small villages one at the head and one in the bottom of
the bay , good small supermarkets, a fuel dock but with the tranquillity of the
bays in the Marquises , only a few yachts as well about makes it one of our
favourites so far and is blessed relief after the hustle and bushel of Tahiti ,
not to say we didn't enjoy being back in civilisation but this place is the
happy medium easing us back into the tranquil bay life with a few mod cons added
to the edges ..
We also reported to the local police station
as instructed in Tahiti but they weren't interested and polity sent us on our
way , which funnily enough was a small shop with ice cold beers , once purchased
we slowly meandered back to the boat , sat on soft cushions sipped ice beer and
watched the sun set to the aroma from the galley of one of Cpt Fluffys curry's
bubbling in the pot ...
The Vindalooed crew ..
PS they crew thought it was just what I needed
after a dose of the Liquorice
