On the hook

  Bora Bora, French Polynesia
Wednesday, June 20, 2007

Well, we are off the ball, and on the hook...

For those who are wondering, this is not business as usual in the yacht delivery trade. Time is of no essence right now, which is arse backwards, and the only reason we can hang out in a place like this, for an extended period of time (and because we just got out of a week in boatyard hell...high five!). To be honest, Bora Bora, was becoming a bit Bora boring, sat in one place for almost a week. Ok, Ok, dont shoot me. Not boring, but we were on a mooring off Bloody Mary's for bit too long, and the poor old cash point card was taking quite a hammering. In addition to that, there are only so many hot wives with new husbands one can stand to look at...
To top it all off... I have had my shoes stolen again! ..Now, I know what you're thinking..'c'mon Adrian, you lost your shoes didnt you?'...NO!.. stolen I tell you, and by some frenchman at the club med...and to add insult to injury, now they wont let me back in the place because I'm shoeless...Sebastian..I hope you are reading this.. (Sebi lives in Tortola, and is well documented to be both french.. and a shoe thief).

Now we have moved round to the eastern side of the lagoon. A more picturesque but less sociable anchorage. This could be a cunning ploy to keep me out of trouble...but thats OK, at least now I can really start to relax. ;-)


Heiva starts in a couple days (2 week festival leading up to Bastile day..dancing competitions galore).. someone asked for grass skirts? I'll see what I can do about that.

p.s. sorry about all the sunset pics, I can't help myself.

p.p.s update to the bloody mary's urinal.. it does work.. you just have to pull on it really hard! who'd have guessed.
