Paw Paw - Log Day 98: Grateful for the Simple Pleasures



With the wind being light and variable overnight we had swung in every direction and a cursory glance at our anchor chain raised suspicion about whether or not we were wrapped around coral heads. However, with the supply ship having arrived in the early hours of the morning, we decided our trip to the grocery stores was higher priority in order to try and get some fresh produce, so we headed to land.

It's amazing just how grateful we have become of the small pleasures in life like finding fresh produce in a store. It was like Christmas - apples, potatoes, onions, celery, radishes, aubergines. Add freshly baked bread and croissants and we thought we'd died and gone to heaven!

After paying for our rather expensive treasures, it was back to Paw Paw to investigate our chain and anchor more thoroughly. A quick snorkel revealed we were wrapped around two separate coral heads. So, with Roy dangling off the bridle and Elaine following directions on which way to manoeuvre Paw Paw, we managed to unravel the chain.

We were rewarded for our efforts with an invite to Overseas Express for rum punches at sunset and enjoyed a very pleasant evening together.
