The last couple of days have probably been two of my favourite since leaving Greece. We had no major jobs to do (well, there are, but we don't have the parts yet!) and it was just the Jackson Four and Pegasus having fun. Lochy has cooked us breakfast two days in a row - pancakes and eggy bread! Yesterday, Mia swam over to the boat next to us in the anchorage to say hello. When Isabella swam over to us two weeks ago we thought it was astounding that an 8 year old could do that and yet now Mia and Lochy can jump off the back of the boat into water out of their depth and snorkel. Mark has been teaching Mia to dive. When she asked me to demonstrate, I had to admit that I couldn't actually dive on account of not liking to put my face under water! So at the tender age of 39, I had my first lessons in diving from my husband! Apparently I can dive perfectly, except at the end I bend my knees. I put that down to trying to stop my bikini bottoms from coming off! Once I change my swimming attires I am sure I will score the perfect 10. Mia has been practising her French with Harold, a French lad who comes in the morning to the boat to deliver croissants and baguettes.
Tomorrow we leave for Martinique. The boat is tidy and ready to go. Now, there's a first. We would have left today however I didn't want to miss skyping the Newcastle Uni girls on their reunion weekend.
