Waking to a warm breeze, and the sun streaming through the hatch, I listened to the kettle come to the boil. Christmas Eve had been busy, like England, everybody was out doing that last minute shop. The party atmosphere spilled into the streets, and the bars were lively - some well into the small hours.
A lazy day, sitting in the sun, telephone calls home. American cruising friends, John and Shirlee came to dinner, Fizz and nibbles in the cockpit was followed by John cooking the mahi-mahi he had caught the day before. I made a fresh fruit salad, and Roy produced real Madeira cake. It was party time on Avocette!
John Shaw,from Southsea Marina, is flying out today, 27th, and we will hopefully sign out tomorrow, and sail for Grenada in the Caribbean. You can follow our actual progress by logging on to 'yotreps'. I shall try to update our position daily.
Happy New Year
