The other day, we left the dink at the dinghy dock as per usual. We did our stuff, buying bread, rhum, rosé, cheese. Had lunch, walked around (read miles) finally came back into town and had a ti punch and headed for ‘home’. Sacre bleu!!!! Dink’s right stern quadrant was flacid!!! Oh, well, we have a pump on board. Peter pumps. C is on dock. Merde!! She sees water coming out behind!! (where it shouldn’t be!) So we were mugged by someone who came in and pulled their motor up exposing sharpies. And they “sharpied” our lovely dink!! So we have a “hole”!!!! Again, merde!!!
Skype is wonderful. It is a computer-based way of telephoning ANYWHERE!! Usually for about 2 cents a minute!! (or even free if you call a skype person) So Peter put in an order to Wmarine. So, the patch kits should reach Al in time for Lee to bring them here. Then Peter and Lee can beach the dink and ‘do it to her’!! And she’ll be herself again.
On another note, this Skype thing is really something!! Peter was able to talk to Lee and Matthew and show PICTURES of the boat, the anchorage and everything! He took the computer Into the cockpit and panned the anchorage. All for FREE since Lee and Matthew are Skype contacts. Unbelievable!
She here, again. So it is New Year’s Eve. Huh. We have had our bread-cheese-olives-rhum usual and gone to bed. WELL we were awakened at the magic hour with a fireworks show!!!! What a treat!! So these two old farts actually did ring in the new year!!! (Last time that happened is when c. spent the night with Charlie Gibson!! Gosh that was at 2000)!! New Year’s Day, nothing open anyway so we stay on the boat to give Peter’s eyes a rest. There seems to be no shortage of young, thin, beautiful bikini-clad babes here!
