Not even sure that he reads my blogs but anyway at least I have done it now (and I would have called if it wasn’t because of my bad internet connection – guessing everybody is getting tried of hearing that excuse all the time).
Lately, I have been extremely bad at keeping contact with people at home, sorry for being a bad sister/daughter and friend. Time just seem to fly these days and seems to take me with it on its wings.
I am not sure how to describe shortly the things I have seen and done lately, so much has happened.
As I mentioned in my latest entry we had a wedding on the boat I am currently living on.
The first guests arrived early in the morning (6 a.m.!!) bringing along with them food, decorations, (including an uncountable number of balloons) champagne, glasses and last but not least the bride’s flower bouquet. In just a few hours the Buzzard was transformed from a boosting Alpha male into a pink princess dream. More than 200 balloons were blown up, and a wedding arch was built and decorated, amazing what a few decorations can do to a tug boat. The wedding ceremony was beautiful and not an eye stayed dry.
The weather was extremely kind, especially if you take into consideration that it is the rain season down here. The love flowed (and so did the Aquavit) and everyone had a splendid time. I personally had great fun with introducing the great Danish Aquavit to people from all over the world, dancing Latin steps, jumping in the water from the top deck and catching the flower bouquet (so guessing I am the next one in line?)
Sunday and Monday was dedicated to recovering, watch the world cup final and cleaning up.
Last Friday I went with Julian (the Argentinian on the Flying Buzzard) to a small island close to the boat to explore it or attempted to, not as easy as one might think. The first sign we met on the island was a sign saying ‘Don’t wandered around on the island’……eyey……….well anyway we did just to realize that there absolutely were no path leading into the forest and the few locals told us ‘ DO NOT WANDER OFF!!’. Made me think about the movie ‘The Village’, wondering whether the island was cursed. Anyway we jumped back in the dinghy and after a small sail found a nice little bay with a church were we made a stop to see the view, relax with Mate and enjoy the setting sun.
On the way back to the Flying Buzzard we were kept company by a few play sick dolphins, who swam just below the front of the dinghy and as they would reach the surface the would hit hard with their tail and give us both a good splash of sea water. Nice………….guess it is very few people who can actually claim they have been in a water fight with dolphins. Have to say it was a perfect end to a nice afternoon/evening.
