The last two weeks have just flown by. We met up with friends we had previously met in the shipyard and sailed to West End with them. Greeted by a welcome party pod of 14 large dolphins as we came through the cut in the reef. They used to be kept in captivity but have since released them and they just love to be sociable with the boats and tourists out snorkeling.
We chilled out there for a few days, diving and hiking and generally feeling like we were on holiday! (I finally made my first batch of bread thanks to Kay who gave us a quick lesson, so I was feeling all domesticated!).
Then a cold front was due so we sailed back to French Harbour to be in a sheltered anchorage. We weathered that one and now another two are due, delaying our plans to leave slightly. The cool air is refreshing though and it even got to a very chilly 65F the other day!
Here we have met up with some Brits from Essex: A fantastic family of four who bought their boat in Spain four years ago and have been cruising ever since. We also met a couple in their golden years from the Isle of Wight who cruise for 6 months of the year. So we have been having some British humour and enjoying not having to explain our little expressions like ‘He’s taking the mikey!’
We have also been passage planning. Our cruising permit for Honduras expires soon and we have to check out of the country before we sail to Guatemala. On a sailing vessel, immigration rules apply and the boat and ourselves have to be ‘cleared in’ and ‘checked out’ at certain ports.
Sorry no new pictures since Christmas. The camera was put back in the oven, but that just didn’t work this time! Keep your emails coming too; Mike got rid of the spam in our guestbook and we love to read everyone’s comments. The TOUR of Kilifi is coming soon....
