It is clear to Part 2 of our story about how a typical day might look like. As indicated in the record of life in the marina on January 24, life at anchor dishwasher cloudy glasses be very different. It should well be added that not all days are as idyllic as this - this was really one of the better ones!
Saturday, 11.02 08.30: The alarm wakes us. We are located in the Tobago Cays - an uninhabited group of small islands with large encircling reef that breaks dishwasher cloudy glasses the ocean. Snorkeling opportunities are bright good sized sea turtles swim right past our boats, and the night before we grilled on the beach. The idyll was admittedly somewhat mitigated by strong winds and rain, but the experience dishwasher cloudy glasses of sand in the salad and soaking wet clothes after jolly ride in the fresh air, stored in memory at least as well as the perfect evening. The Norwegian family sailboat Troop Nostra Vida, Aphrodite and us have again found full strength together, and all the kids had at camp Raymond and Annikenin Aphrodite that night. Glory to them for that, and also boasts of the kids! Thus, we adults alone in the boat when we wake, and a breakfast slowly finds its shape up in the sun. For morning coffee, we can see the islands we saw the lights of the night before: Canouan in the northwest, Mayreau and Union in the West, Petit St. Vincent, dishwasher cloudy glasses Petit Martinique, Carriacou and Palm Island to the south.
9.30: The kids called home for schoolwork. On our "private" dishwasher cloudy glasses VHF channel 15 intercom between dishwasher cloudy glasses the boats arranged the evening's menu, and Stig trades lobster by a local fisherman in a boat to every man. 90 dollars for a lobster is not too bad. The kids come home, but today's schools postponed to the advantage of one last snorkel to turtle bay before we sail on. They go away with Raymond of Aphrodite, who would "sacrifice" like dinghy runs and lifeguard so that the kids get snorkeled a bit. We adults are left to breakfast tidying, folding the clean clothes are finished drying after sunrise, the day's first dishwasher and general preparation of the boat for sailing.
11.30 eases the anchor from the Tobago Cays, and head west towards Saline Bay and Mayreau. Gerhard sailing with Nostra Vida, Philip is with us. Variety is the thing! dishwasher cloudy glasses Nice tailwind, and our double headsail will again aired out. The hull has been scraped clean of barnacles and algae of a local hero 2 days ago and no dinghy in tow, we move easily up to 8.7 knots in 8 seconds meter wind. We go beyond Nostra Vida - 1:41 First foot that fuses the foresail in 6 knots - and am very happy with it Completely clear that cleaning helps on the go - it went very slowly upward from Grenada early in the week.
At 24:15 we land anchor on a sandy bottom in Saline Bay again. Fishing line that we've had out on the crossing - without button - was forgotten in the move until we hear an outboard behind us ruse sharply, then suddenly accelerate again. It was the drain ... Time for lunch, but in the middle dishwasher cloudy glasses of the new requirement ropes from Raymond dishwasher cloudy glasses as snorkels to check the anchors dishwasher cloudy glasses that a huge barracuda hovering around the boat and hunting a fish that clearly hiding it behind our keel. Henry and Philip interrupts baguettsmøring, and gets into the water with snorkel and mask to witness the drama. Barracudas were so unsure of all these guys in the water that it pulled away, and the fish behind the keel was saved for this time.
At 14 is finally the lunch consumed, the kids in place in their respective boats, schoolwork started and 3 of the lobster boil on our boat. Henrik chapter test in algebra, and Gerhard starts the chapter on division, read a piece in the reading book + solves tasks in the booklet. Gerhard came back from Nostra Vida with bandaged foot and one toe-nail less. Did not hurt, he said ... The giddy However, little mother. Clashes with edges and rope blocks are everyday pain sensations, but more rarely nails bust after all. Ingvar working to fix a leak in forluka and lubricating creaking joints, and Ingrid writing emails and blog that will be ready the next time we have net while she is available for educational issues and takes time on the lobster. Multitasking on vacation level.
15.30 is the current school plan through work, and swimming is running outside the boat. Eventually leaving all the boys under 15 in the beach equipped with swimming trunks, soccer and volleyball. dishwasher cloudy glasses The lobster is fully cooked and Ingrid embark on our contribution to the evening's dinner: Mexican casserole for those who do not like lobster - ie children. Grytekokingen interrupted for a while because it lacks a can of chopped tomatoes in the household. A quick request on channel 15 reveals that Sean can share and it is thereby placed on a 100m long snorkel to collect the necessary ingredient, and a nice chat later middagskokingen continue. Ingvar continues to work on various repairs -'d love got to fix half damaged kick (rod going down the boom so that the mainsail tightened), but it becomes so extensive dishwasher cloudy glasses that we think are pending to Norway - it works like that tåleli
