After dropping our laundry off (the yacht club had had to replace 3 washing machines in a year due to cruisers overfilling them so now they fill the machine for you!!) we were met by the taxi to take us to the jewelers.
After much debate I ended up having one pearl set in a necklace and a braclet made of the misshapen pearls. The braclet was going to take a while so the Sarah arranged to bring our jewellery to the yacht club this evening.
Sarah, Zerkovian Pearls (pick up a postcard size flyer in the tourist info and ask them to ring to get you collected) was brilliant. I would highly recommend any cruisers coming through here with pearls to be set visiting her.
We bought baguettes at the shop near the yacht club and then headed to town in the dinghy to go to the post office.
On the way back to Newt we stopped at Calysta to arrange getting diesel and then stopped at an English boat Kathleen Love to say hello. Grahame and Gillian have taken 3 years to get here and are doing a circum navigation. Gillian is from Preston originally.
After lunch Jonny headed off in the dinghy to fill the diesel jugs and I did some cleaning and tidying.
On their way past the boat Bruce and Cheryle, Sea Dove, Australian came past to say hello.
At 4pm Equinox (Scottish, Gordan and Ann) came over for drinks. We had met them initially in Portugal and have bumped into in various places on the trip but never had a chance to chat properly. We had a good couple of hours getting to know them before we headed ashore for dinner at the yacht club.
At the yacht club Sarah was waiting with my pearls which were stunning and I enjoyed wearing all night. After a yummy dinner we headed to Equinox. In 2006 Gordon had circum navigated Spitsbergen and made a film which they had invited us to watch. It was amazing and both of us left the boat saying we wanted to visit although it looked slightly colder than here!!
