Happy Birthdayj!

Happy Birthday, nr.1 son, Thorbjørn, in England!!
And Happy Birthday Brit Emma, good friend, neighbor and house-watcher, in Norway!!

We celebrate both their birthdays by making a tropic-fruit salad and a spice cake. And we invite "Galadriel" over to share the goodies. Sondre and Synne get busy with Skittles and the Flekkefjord puzzle, down in the saloon.
While we bigger sailors re-hash stormy weather, broken rudders and gear boxes, and other minor inconveniences. We've both come a long ways, an ocean of experience since last we met, all starry-eyed, on the other side.
Now we have an exchange of info as we trade places. They have Martinique tips for us, we Trinidad and Tobago tips for them. We hope to smooth the waters a bit for each other. Meanwhile the fruit and spice cake have disappeared. And at 10pm, four hours after sunset and after an hour of yawning, time to hit the sack.
Sunrise is 06:15!!
