saying good bye

Leaving the Marina

Woohoo and we are on our way ... kenny is with us so we are going out for a fishing trip and then coming back to drop him off and head out again .... thats the plan ..

So we fuel the boat and head out .... the going is good at first, kenny had bought along his favourite guitars and amplerfier so he could crank up the sound to full and no neighbours to complain ....

it was awesome he was so excited ... so was i .... we putted along the reef and then turned at the end to anchor and fish ... we'd just put the anchor down when we looked and realised no anchoring .. so quickly pulled it back up ... then found out there was no where we could anchor ... then the waves started to pick up .. i was still on deck and kenny went downstairs ...it was a little too rough for me to go ... so i stayed .... and it got worse ...ick ... the waves were breaking over us and i was getting wet .. it had turned bad and the sun was still shining ... the water looked confused ...going this way then that way ... very weird .... the auto pilot packed a sad and stopped working , so my hunny was stuck in the wheel house .... then it got a little worse so he turned and started to go back ... and me .. i was a bit scared to say the least ... but he came to get me and take me to the wheelhouse once he saw me and realised i wasn't coping ...

so much better in there .. so there was only a little way of rough to go ... and we were around the reef again and it started to calm immediately .... and so we went back to the marina ... we didn't get to fish but we might do that when we go further south ... kenny might head down to where we are to go out fishing ... its nuts just here ... all the no anchoring rules and big fines ... sigh ... eager to go again ... after this false start ...
