A Tuesday afternoon

After the midday siesta we went to Gingerbread for a coffee. Lani and Chris had fun during the Dinghy ride. With 4 people we were really slow. We had banana and other cakes, Cappucino and Latte and then a nice walk through the village.

We reached Vieux Fort and met with Ralf from La Medianoche and went to the airport. After Mathias and Ute arrived and Inge left us we decided that Joern, a sailor from Hamburg is taking them to LinoCat since Ralf and myself wanted to clear out of customs and immigration. After around 30 minutes we then took a taxi to the harbor and when we headed in the dark towars our boats we saw a small dinghy rowing through the night. YES, it was Ute and Mathias in Joerns boat plus the guest of Joern and luggage in a small rubber boat. Ralf towed them to LinoCat and we had a drink and went to bed. The next morning, after breakfa...
