lazy Day in dongara

.bp.b

We are hanging off a mooring in dongara with the wind blowing southerly. Sunset has been and gone and we have had Julie and Margaret for dinner. Gave us a chance to cook a roast lamb and enjoy some vegetables for a change, Have to beat the scurvy somehow... We have had a lazy day went into the town centre and had a counter lunch with of course a couple of beers for the boys. they say "i am such a Nanna..." obviously my drinking habits are not up to par.. Oliver kite surfed for the afternoon, it is a great way to keep track of your kids you just tie a great kite around their belly and you can see them for miles.

Oliver goes tomorrow and i will be sad to see him leave. There is always a touch of sadness when one of the team leaves the ship. It is like losing a family member. i remember when Reid left last year and my heart sank watching him fly away. it has been good to have the young pup on board, he has been a sense of amusement and the different culture has kept us all guessing..

Living in close quarters with each other you soon learn that nothing is sacred. I was trying to pluck my eyebrows much to the boys amusement as the conversation soon transfered to body hair and Brazilians. Funny what you talk about living so closely together. No one was showing any bits to prove either way though.

There are fish jumping around the boat at night here so i have brought my prawns and plan on catching a fish before i come home. I am determined. we sailed past this little dinghy in the middle of the ocean and Ralph yelled at him " caught anything?" he very proudly showed us his big dhu fish as we sailed past.. talk about jealous, his smile was as big as his boat.

There were dolphins playing in the wake of the bow on our way here. Six and seven at a time. They would come for ages and you would even get a little bored just watching. Every time you are blessed with this sight you remember how gracious they are. It is truly one of those special moments.

We will camp here for a few days and wait for the bad weather to pass. There is no rush so we will just wait and see where the wind blows. How blessed are we...
