We’ve read about people making long journeys and over time just about everything possible seems to happen. You start to think what that? And that? Oh no there’s more. Is this really the case? Short answer…if it can happen it eventually does…or it’s just round the corner. Our Onan generator was borne in 1988 and having trundled on for 26 years, a generation, decided to semi-retire. Instead of pushing out 220V it was dropping, and finally remained at, 110V. So we had the ‘not the Cuban’ Davis over from Prickly Bay Marina to have a scout around. He checked the

We had Talulah Ruby III and Calypso onboard for an evening of lamb curry (tons of it as our generator gave out a few days ago and lots of Las Palmas lamb defrosted) followed by the very entertaining Really Nasty Horse Racing game.

The competitive sides of cruisers come to the surface when there is a throttle in hand. We couldn’t resist a race with Talulah Ruby from De Big Fish back to Prickly Bay Marina.

It was unpredictably quiet at Prickly Bay Marina but the one man steel band played on for a couple of hours to his 8 person audience.

We attended a cooking class with the unusual comedy duo Esther and Omega at Dodgy Dock. The Creole Chicken recipe is below.

Here are some Bingo goat winners from last week. Those goats are cute…..

On school books!

Local vegetables and other goodies

So we had a little party onboard which included the French Yorkshire Terrier Gofie along with Pierre, Marcella from Phebus, David & Anne-Marie from Calypso and Paul and Andi from Talulah Ruby III (as they embark on their second circumnavigation).
