Larry here
BBQ'd rump steak last night,it's very popular down here, and delicious, calm night except for the dinghy knocking against the side of the boat, had to go out and move it, however I didn't wear a fur coat. Rain squall this am around ten, I'm not sure what's going on here but the biggest cat you've ever seen has just anchored near us, plus this other great big thing, looks like a ferry. Another big terrorist cat has come in. The island is un inhabited so I guess there here to explore. We'll go in later depending on the wind, it has switched so we're on a lee shore. First rain in six weeks, however it's still tee shirt weather. I just figured out why the big boats are here, at the end of the island is a geographic feature called hole in the rock, so anchor here and go to the hole by tender. Maybe we can sneak aboard the cat for lunch, probably better than our rations. We went ashore and hiked up,to the top of the island, lovely view, lots of stairs. Motored over to another anchorage, we have to run the engine 1.5 hours per day to keep the refrigeration running (very important). Rain showers continued off and on til 4pm. Weather forecast is good the rest of the week. Our position is now. 35 13.074S 174 13.615E. Managed to loose my bathing suit it was blown overboard by one of the many gusts while I was trying to dry it. Lucky for the populace I have a spare. At least a dozen yachts overnighting in this bay, we are amongst the smallest. Lots of forty footers around, and of course some really big stuff. Tomorrow we'll be out beyond the islands in the open part of the bay. Beth is desparate to see flipper and his family.
