After a rather late, but fun night last night, we were both a little sluggish this morning, but it was no rest for the wicked; tasks had to be done in preparation for our next departure. While Roy moved all the jerry cans back to the cockpit, then dinghied over to Talulah Ruby III to assist Paul with an intermittent problem that was occurring on their email communication service, Elaine got the laundry done, then submitted the various artefacts of documentation needed for our next stop.

It was lunchtime by the time Roy returned having successfully sorted out Talulah Ruby III’s issue, thankfully, but by now we both needed an afternoon nap, one that extended longer than intended. That resulted in a mad scramble to prepare our contribution to another potluck dinner on the beach; this time to coincide with the Rally Registration event, where we received a refreshing cold towel and a welcome drink on arrival, offered by ladies and gents dressed in their traditional outfits, and to collect our welcome packs which included a very nice t-shirt each, amongst other items, have our photograph taken and to sort out a few logistics, given a change in the itinerary, particularly the alternative anchorage we were all being requested to move to.

Given the early start to the evening event, everything wrapped up soon after sunset, but an early night wasn’t to be; drinks, lots of funny stories and great laughs were had on Talulah Ruby III afterwards.
