Merry Christmas!
Monday 23rd - Tuesday 24th December 2024
Happy Christmas Everyone! It’s 9.30 pm on Christmas Eve and we are ready to call it a day and head to bed, so this will be short and sweet. We’ve been having a wonderful time with Tasha, Mac, Don and Dolly. It’s cosy on board with 6 people - but it is working well and we are really enjoying the opportunity to hang out together. Tasha and Mac are sleeping in the aft cabin, Don and Dolly in the main cabin and Gloria and I up in the V-berth (as we normally do). The biggest challenge is finding 6 shady spots on board to hang out during the day.
We are happy to be on a mooring off Isle a Cabrit - the water is flat, it’s peaceful and we can snorkel right off the boat. The only down side is that it’s about a one mile dinghy ride across fairly open water to town. We all went in yesterday and with six people on board our little dinghy, with bumpy conditions, we all got quite wet. The main problem was water coming over the transom because we were so heavily weighed down! Anyway, we arrived safely and went separate ways to explore the island. Despite our independent activities we somehow all managed to find our way to the ice cream shop!
Today was a lazy day, mostly hanging out on board, swimming off the boat and walking the trail on Isle a Cabrit. Gloria and I did go in to town briefly to do some final food shopping before Christmas. This evening Tasha and Mac made us tacos, which were excellent, and we played games out in the cockpit. We all marveled out being able to sit outside in shorts and T-shirts on Christmas Eve, feeling comfortable warm / cool and not being bothered by insects.
We hope you all have a wonderful time over the holidays
Mike
