Rodrigues

Dear all,

We are enjoying Rodrigues. The island has a very Caribbean feel. We have
hired a car and visited the interior of the island, seeing a tortoise
sanctuary. One of the giant tortoises weighed over 240kgs and was 90 years
old. I hope I don't weigh that much when I'm 90!!!
We are in company with with a few other boats that we met in Cocos. Deano
and his daughter Sasha on Hadar, Lars on Twister and Paul on Rebellion.
Twister is a 28ft designed Twister and Rebellion and Albin Vega 26ft long!!!
You don't need a big boat to do this!
Unfortunately Lars broke his forestay on the crossing so we are helping him
cobble something together. We also did a rig check only to find some very
suspect split pins.

We will probably be here for a few more days before heading to Mauritius.
Mauritius is likely to be very busy the marina has already confirmed that
they cannot accommodate us due to the World ARC being hosted, unfortunately
there is only one marina!!

Hope everybody is well at home,

Lots of Love,

Ocean Lady
