With Adrian we visit Speyside, the nearest small village, if you go over the hill towards Scarborough.
Speyside is also an idyllic spot located on a beautiful beach.

With Adrian we enjoy being together especially. In the evening there is much to tell and report.
We have changed our anchorage and are now in the Pirates Bay. Now we can explore the ship directly from the great underwater world.
We discover many colorful reef fish and various coral. The view is sometimes up to 14 m.
In our body, some ship owners have sucked and fall hungry on our biolog. Waste ago.
In this anchorage you really feel like in paradise. (The image in the center rear)

Turquoise water, jungle-fringed hills, secluded beaches, pelicans, frigate birds and parrots ... nature - what else is needed?

There are still changes to our crew two days. During this time, it rains often.
On Monday, we accompany and beat Walter to the airport, the two board the plane with which Adrian comes to us. We were a great team and have three weeks together very much. We have done a lot, I had not the time to write anything in the blog.

Adrian can not enjoy the beautiful drive along the east coast, unfortunately, because it is already dark. In addition, it is raining in torrents again and after Dingifahrt to our Whisper we are all softened.
We are thrilled to welcome Adrian on board. In a week Valeria will then also be joining us.

Fantastic sailing conditions with sunshine and 3 -4 Bf wind, lure us to a trip.

Actually we wanted to start the Parlatuvier Bay. But we find no place in the small bay, which is full fishing boats. Hardly 2 nm further into the Englishman's Bay, we throw the anchor in 7m water depth. After a short time dark clouds over the green wooded slopes. Nevertheless, the three men to swim to shore and hope that the little restaurant has open there. Bust! It is cooked on board menu is: Alpine macaroni and cabbage salad.
Next day early morning we motors with weak winds, heavy cloud cover to back against Charlottevbille.

Charlottesville is a small fishing village with about 950 inhabitants. The people welcomed us with a smiling "hi, hello or good morning." Everything is slow here. The people live by the motto "dolce far niente" or here called "liming".

Approx. 500 sm to sail. With a crew of 4 persons is relatively easy. We all need some adaptation time to the rocking at sea.
The weather is perfect, light winds and no squalls, the shaft is a bit uncomfortable.

About 7 nm downstream we drop anchor in front of the village of Domburg. We like it here. In contrast to Marina's "Social Life" takes place here. Shopping facilities are available, and even the gas station and ATM are very close. There is a Lan House where you can buy a subscription and receive WIFI undisturbed on the ship weather and e-mails.

When we come back from our rainforest trip to our ship, we notice that our dinghy engine was stolen. This was anchored to the railing and closed with a lock. No light on the dock makes it easy to certain people, unnoticed to board a boat!
The positive is that we have bought in Paramaribo a new Tohatsu 9.8 M with our dinghy and we are now much faster way. Incidentally, we have about $ 500 saved, because the outboard Surinam are cheaper than in Trinidad
The marina is under construction and important installations are still missing. The priorities were not focused on the needs of sailors. The showers are still missing, the power connections are tentative and there is a water connection for all boats together. The scrubs web through the lines and fenders. Unfortunately also is the seemingly "safe Marina" not so sure. In the night no light burns on the web. - But already beautiful green plants everywhere standing around in the pots. Yes, not everyone finds the same important.

We reach the village Tjalihöndre. The women and children washing clothes and dishes by the river.
