Turns out the general strike is still on. Even the supermarkets are closed today. Some things are open though. We’ve been out around the marina and had pizza for lunch, complete with a small carafe of wine. Been asleep since lunch. Back out soon.
Last couple of days I’ve been listening in to the “Coconut Telegraph” on the short wave. It’s at 8am in the morning and it’s a call in of Caribbean cruisers. I tried calling in myself but failed. I found it hard to here the net coordinator. What we did manage was to hear a chap a few boats down call in so we hailed him on the VHF and ended up having him aboard for a chat. He was born in Malta but lived over half his life in Canada. His boats name is “The Maltese Falcon”.
