Tuesday 21st January 2025
The alarm went off at an ungodly hour and when I ventured out there was a Martin, ready to go I thought but no, he had re-considered his planned dive. Having had surgery not very long ago, he felt his fitness levels weren’t quite there so for safety reasons he pulled out, and now he has to wait ‘till 0800hrs to cancel. I on the other hand went back to bed but by then the damage was done and couldn’t get back to sleep.
After breakfast Christine and I popped to the local supermarket (again!!) as our plans had now changed, instead of driving to Jolly Harbour for diving, it was a picnic lunch on Pigeon Beach.
Arriving around lunchtime we commandeered one of their round table under a permanent roof covering we settled and had lunch. What a nice hot day, blue skies though a little windy and the odd spots of rain when a cloud came over. After lunch we were in and out of the lovely warm sea before walking to the end of the beach to dry off. Today there are many Egrets hanging around and one just strolled up to Martin as if he was a long lost friend!!! We even got chatting to a couple holidaying here from Jersey; their first full day but were enjoying the weather; I wonder why!!!!
Heading back to base again we stopped at the supermarket but this time for the important things, beers and tonics!!!
After another masterpiece from this very limiting kitchen; roast chicken with top quality roast potatoes🥰🥰 we enjoyed the evening on the veranda. Tomorrow we’re heading back to Half Moon beach
