BERMUDA!

Got up- at 3.40 to do 2 hours on harbour watch.  Couldn't wake Bob - had to send the other Anita down.  Went to wake Stewart but he was unconscious!! 5 of us couldn't wake him!  Stayed up at the end of harbour watch because I am on Bosun's duties.  We hosed and scrubbed the decks then got stood down so I went on shore with Sally and Paul.  I tried unsuccessfully to send some emails.  Then we bought tickets and went on the bus to Hamilton.  Had a lovely pizza and 1/2 bottle of chardonay for lunch.  Caught ferry to HM Dockyard and went round the maritime museum.  Ferry took 90 minutes as it called in at all the villages!  Museum was fascinating, though the captive dolphins were not!  Caught buses back to St George.  Went to see if Paul's hat was in the cafe but no luck - closed! 

Went out with Paul and Russ for fish and chips!!  Went to bed around 10pm then up at 1.25 with upset tum!

Blue watch has been augmented by Thomas, a German chap who is hitching a lift to the Azores.  He was waiting for a yacht which has got into difficulty with a broken prop and a torn sail, so he asked if he could join us.  His English is very good and he is a very willing worker.  He has the bunk next to mine.
