Back in civilisation: Charlotteville


First we re-anchor, again. The first time it was just a meter or two, to get away from the boat which anchored rather near us. This time we need to get more distance from the coral reef zone and the partially rocky bottom. We now have two anchors out having tried out the new Denforth in the heavy swell we've been having. From "Bonanza" we had Arild (from Eiken) on board to assist. It all went well, and we're happy to be in a better place, with more elbow room.

We brave the surf today and take the dinghy to town. All the dinghies are pulled up on the pier, so no more up-down outboards.
A day at Curtis' Cyber-shack, and dinner in town.
Both "Bonanza" and "Babette" decide to eat at "Gail's" this evening. We meet Bail's mother outside the caf'e/ Dhe tells us they make good soups. And they do! the spicy corn soup is super! After a good "fish, chicken or shrimp?" dinner we walk over to Charlotteville Beach Bar and order seven gin and tonics. One each. Then back along the starlit beach...Good night!
