Dave and Iain arrived at the boat bearing gifts……..two very compact, very needed fans. We now have five on board, three electric and two 12 volt ones and would you believe, it’s still hot!Just as well Dave is a mean Gin & Tonic mixer.
Oh and they brought a new “wee” saltire for Camira as well.
We had held off visiting the sites of antiquity that Cartagena is famous for in case we all wanted to see them together – however the nearest we got was the 1st night passing a giant sculpture where we were in raptures watching the kids running in and touching his nether regions.
Culture? … Us? … Aye.
Needless to say, this is how the next few days continued, great fun!
In between times we did manage a trip to the beach
A day sail to a bay along from Cartagena where we anchored swam and had lunch.
Dave’s manly plunge into the depths! holding his nose, having been finally pushed by captain Pugwash
The more able beach boys followed suit
I won’t go into the graphical description of Dave getting back on board after his swim but it was hysterical, let’s say there could have been two moons in the sky and one of them was almost upside down.
Anyhow back safe and moored up.
The boys had hired a car so we took the opportunity of stocking up on a few necessities, wine water and beer. The woman at the checkout asked if she could come to the fiesta! The waterline is now about two inches lower but I’m sure by the time they leave it will have risen again.
We thought we would do some sightseeing while they were here but to be honest, it was really too hot for that so we just “chilled” , ate out each night and generally had a good laugh with good friends.
It was great to see the guys and it was our opportunity to have a wee “holiday” as well.
