We finally arrived here with almost no wind, after 30 days on the High Seas.

It is a very old volcanic eruption and there is plenty of growth and it is a pretty place. The people are very very friendly. There are no large numbers of tourists rushing around so you feel very welcome.

Went to Doc and got a prescription for Dawns eye, but the Pharmacy is a 6 km walk, to fill the prescription. I just cannot walk that far. One of the locals arranged for her husband to drive us there and back. She actually came from Madagascar originally with her husband on a small little yacht. Absolutely drop dead gorgeous bird with three children. :-) I have WiFi again for a while, but like everything else here it is very expensive.
