We had a jolly old Christmas here in the Swimming Pool in the East Holandes. In the morning we had a brief present opening and a little later we headed out to the reef for a snorkel. I snagged one crayfish spotted by Annie which we shared back on the boat. Christmas lunch started around 1pm with soup and freshly made bread. Around 2:30 we had the main course of turkey, potatoes and veg (no sprouts – hurray) very well cooked by Helen. Later we went ashore to BBQ island to share time with the cruisers who were gathering there and later still we retired to the boat for Christmas pud and a lengthy game of dominoes.
Today we’re off to Cocos Banderos for a couple of days. Hopefully we’ll have lunch with Whiskers before we depart.
