Caribbean sunsets and Christmas Carols

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I'm typing away at the Norwegian summary of this sailing logg. Ørnulf is filling "Babette's" water-tanks, 30 liters at a time, making several dinghy trips to "The Boatyard" and back. We pay them, at "The Boatyard"US$20 a day for use of the dinghy dock, and $2.50 for water.

In the evening, as the sun takes a dip into the turqoise sea, we have a little "Madeira Cake", dug up from deep in the stores where its been hiding. A glass red wine, some Christmas Carols on the flute in our lantern-lit cock-pit. A cooling breeze in the warm dark evening.

Hei dere to!
En liten julehilsen fra Rauli. Denne 2.juledag er det sol og knall blå himmel, et par kuldegrader, men sne kan vi se langt etter...
Har nettopp lest oppsummeringen av turen deres så langt, så utrolig spennende!
Ha en fortreffelig julefeiring på Barbados!
