Wednesday 30th April
Misty* sent me an
email saying she was enjoying the Wakefield/2XS adventures but asking whether
maybe I had been drinking a bit of wine* while writing my blog… Maybe yes maybe
no…but I checked back and changed things swiftly. So in case anyone other than Misty read that
particular blogbit before I changed it…no we did NOT explore the waterways of
the Hole in the Wall on a motorbike...
How many steps is
it up to the Seven Wells Waterfall?
Today has been
mainly R & R on Rebak Island. The
boys were
t-i-r-e-d early on
but they soon galvanised into activity with their new friends – Johannes,*** at
school in Shanghai at the biggest German school outside Germany, and
Kayden,**** from South Africa, home schooled (boat schooled??) by his beautiful
mother, Sharon. Much pooltime,
rushing-around time, games of squash, games of table tennis, general
exploration.
Nicky and I had
another shopping session at Pantai Cenang - oh so nice to stroll around in the
hot HOT heat, gently looking in shops, chatting, buying this and that.

On Tuesday night
in our northern anchorage there was a
ferocious and violent thunderstorm.
Thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening! There are no photos of this… People rushed
from their bunks, battened down hatches, secured tarps, rescued towels and
underwear from the railings. But two
people on 2XS slept peacefully through most of it… Sleepyboboland calling… Angus didn’t wake at all… The ever-vigilant
grandmother – well, hardly a stir until it was nearly all over… I did get up
from my SleepybobolandBunk to ask if there was anything I could do but it was
all over bar the shouting.
Pete is very
protective of the downpipe he has installed to gather water, should it ever
rain for long enough to…well, to gather water.
He often roars, Don’t touch my
downpipe, as one or other guest on board 2XS happens, unwarily, to touch
his precious pipe. So EvilAngus organised
a photoshoot…
* Thank you Misty
– I do need a proofreader…keep it up! I
hate appearing in cyberspace with inaccurate words…
** The Scottish
word for this is…blootered. And what an
excellent word it is! I am adopting it
immediately.

resort till Friday
