The Easter Bunny comes to the Tropics

There were a few chocolate eggs around the boat, but Isobel knew that the eggs she had colored we hidden somewhere and she couldn't find them. The Easter Hare had left a thank you note for the lettuce and carrots. Apparently, it had not been too soporific (see B. Potter). The note said something about "look where the palm trees grow."

"The Palm trees grow on the island!" Isobel was uniting the dinghy and pulling it up to the boat when she saw that the Easter Bunny had left the eggs in the nests that we had made on the island. (We had left the nests in the dinghy because Papa was worried about bringing bugs on board!)

With the wind blowing 20 and the resulting chop, Isobel and I were happy to not have to go to the Island (as I am quite sure that the Easter Bunny was happy that the nests were in the dinghy and not left on the island too!!)

We have talked about sailing to the East Lemon Islands to meet up with a couple kids boats from South Africa: Tribe and Safari, although a Kuna said that he would bring us a "chip" that we might cut down to fit in the Ipad, so that we would have some Internet onboard...
