Yesterday was Boxing Day in the UK, a National holiday, but not here in Cartagena. Bob decided to fit the new alternator, so he and Edi worked on it all morning. Just when we thought the work was finished!
The water was unbelievably clear in the bay this morning, we could see all the way to the sea bed. Niki, Scoop, Edi and Danni decided to brave the jelly fish and snorkle off the boat, they swam all the way to the shore. We had planned to join them, but by the time Bob had finished clearing up, and I had tidied the boat they were on their way back.
About 30 minutes after they returned, the tide turned and washed a ton of debris into the bay, trees, shrubs and a floating piece of grassland the size of a ship, the water turned green and murky, the skies darkened and a thunderstorm rolled in.
Bob decided to test the new alternator only to discover that it didn't work arhhhhhhhhhhh...
Danni and Edi washed the deck in the rain, and Niki, Scoop and I played rummy.
The weather stayed gray for the rest of the day.
Well sometimes at sea, actually mostly at sea, then sometimes on land, and sometimes at the barn playing with the horses, traveling through Europe, painting, writing, cooking yummy dishes, and trying out new recipes, entertaining all my much appreciated readers with my adventures through travel and gastronomic delights... My blog is dedicated to my wonderful family and friends, who faithfully follow all my adventures and other nonsense.
