Still in Heaven!

Rained rather heavily so stayed below and rocked and read.
My neighbours, with small children, got their washing out to catch the first sun and breeze.
There are several cruising boats with chidren on board. The boats are rigged so that adventurous kids can't go overboard.
These children will probably spend the coldest months cruising Fiji.

The hull of Kimimoana is unlined at this time so it is like sleeping in a coolroom..... about 10 cms of concrete and steel between me and the coooool sea.
Reading by candle is best because the cost of batteries is pretty high.

Good Fiday and Phil and I went up to have lunch with Pip and Oliver, one of the first commercial charterers here, both of my generatio. Their home is beautiful, Pip's cooking is superb. Raising children and sailing has made her pretty efficient and a gourmet cook. They keep a smaller yacht at the bottom of the hill. They have a small B&B overlooking the bay. Watching the yachts sail by with a small glass keeps them in touch with the comings and goings :))

Easter Saturday and the children from "Rat bag" were cheering as their mum rowed them out to meet our visitors on a bright sunny morning. In cas you can't see them to well..... four dolphins playing up for the kids :))))
