Leanne
We took Matt to Lunch @ La Chaumiere for a taste of French cuisine, we all ate so well during Matt's stay onboard Migaloo, We were sufficiently chocko's! full! bloated! by the time the final course arrived. During Matt's stay onboard when we took our food into the beach BBQ's, the final night Migaloo was being called the gourmet section as Matt has this thing for marinades, so most of the time, Matt made a marinade to put over Food or final touches to Dinner before going ashore. Everyone was loving the aroma's! I cried like a baby when Matt left, did not want to let him go, even now writing this the tears begin yet again! I have spoken to him since arriving home and flight went well and of course he was doing what teenagers do best...partied when he got home...only so much Mum & Dad music he can stand. We had Judith & Rick SV Dreamweaver 111 onboard for Sundowners Saturday night. We have been next to them @ Port Moselle Marina a few times. They have travelled extensively and are selling their boat and heading back to NZ. Sunday morning spent @ McDonald's using free WiFi paying bills etc - We left marina eventually (Matt had this saying boat,boat,boat, batteries,batteries,batteries...chat chat chat...common DAD!) after chatting/goodbyes to aquaintances met. Headed for Baie De Timbia for the night. Spaghetti Bog for Dinner. Baie De timbia anchorage shared later with Sassoon (David & Melinda). Ran Desalintor to make fresh water early morning and made our way to Ilot Moro very little wind but pulled the Genoa out (only aloud in light conditions...scary sail) John noticed drum had an overrun and when he checked it out a bolt which holds the arm that feeds the sheet had snapped off. Luckily found in light conditions. Pleasant sunny day anchored at Ilot Moro with Sasson... Au revoir (Terry & Chris ... glad you love the photo's - hope your holiday going well) (Jan nice to hear from you again love to all)
