Its the day after my arrival in Port Louis, Mauritius. Certainly a bustling town with a good mood that permeates all. The arrival was in the early morning hours of yesterday after a night of slow sailing and then 'heaving to', (stopping the boat by pitting one sail against another and both against the rudder) and waiting for day break to actually enter the harbor. This will be very short but to be followed by hopefully some video of a tour of the island that may take place tomorrow. Am at the main wharf and Shearwater is tied up securely and, with no anchor to drag, I hope to catch up on a little sleep.
