Paw Paw - Log Day 132: A Fantastic Day with Friends, Old and New



Geared with her back brace and walking sticks borrowed from Cattiva, we were up early so that Elaine could get a head start on the walk up to the Tropical Gardens, where we were meeting Nina and Do Over for lunch.

After collecting Maria and Maurice in the dinghy, we headed for the closest beach and started the slow walk up the very steep hill. We had no sooner started the climb, when a lovely lady stopped and offered us a ride. Grateful, Elaine accepted while the others decided to continue their walk. Turned out the lady was, in fact, the owner of the Tropical Gardens and Restaurant.

It was a perfect start to a wonderful day. Fruit cocktails followed by a delicious lunch, in the company of great friends, in the most beautiful setting with the most amazing views, was only surpassed by the owner offering to take Elaine back down the hill after we had finished our lunch (albeit a very unexpected mode of transportation) and proceed ed to offload her right outside the local Creperie, where we all enjoyed Crepes and Café.

Then it was back to our respective yachts, only to enjoy an unexpected lovely afternoon. Firstly, when Maria and Maurice swam over to join Roy for a swim off the back of Paw Paw, while Elaine dangled her feet in the water from the swim platform, and then to have the cruisers from two other yachts in the anchorage come over to introduce themselves and have a chat.

All in all, a fantastic day with friends, old and new!
