Approaching Zeke's bar and "marina"

Our Anzac Day lunch at Zeke’s bar was all very pleasant.  Everyone had brought some sort of salad and some sort of meat for the BBQ.

Last week there were only people at the regular Saturday event; yesterday there were about thirty, pouring in from – boats, nearby, goodness knows where.  There was enough food for everyone, one way or the other.

And the BarCat was very well satisfied with the pickings.

We spent a happy time with Campbell

and Jenny, who are getting ready to sail to Japan and then to Alaska, across many many miles of vast empty ocean, in their 40’ yacht.

And we also enjoyed the company of Mel and David, who will cruise to Japan in their trawler-style boat, Night Owl II, next year.  (But not to Alaska – too cold!!)

Everyone had helpful advice – be careful of thieves in Cebu City; go swimming with whale sharks in Oslob.  And most important of all – take antibiotics Pete!!  (Thank you Nurse Jenny; he did listen to you and the blood poisoning has receded completely.  I am eternally grateful!)
