... 3 Dollars). Fish, Chicken, Mangos, Rice, and Creole Sauce were loaded onto my plate with a smile (and a reciprocated smile). I went back to Dave's, ate the delicious meal, and felt very pleased with my decision. Dave got off of work sometime around ten o' clock. We chatted for awhile (over a Seybrew) about our daily events, among other things. Then he took a shower, and I fell asleep

Il Moyenne -> Sunsail's new base
We’re up early to get the boat in before 9am and call Neal at Sunsail to learn the new location for the base. As we head in, one of the Sunsail staff boards Monkey Puzzle to med moor us to the new floating dock.

... anchorage for the night. It’s a very rewarding final day of sailing in the Seychelles.
As we tie up to a mooring ball, the park rangers come to collect our $15US for the night and we prepare to snorkel the surrounding reef of Ille Moyenne. It’s a great snorkel with plenty of colorful and large ...
... shop on the beach. Unfortunately, we arrived about an hour too late to take the afternoon dive. After buying ice at the bar, we head back to the boat for a swim and our normal evening ritual awaiting another fantastic sunset.

... we start to feel bugs landing, first one or two, then 10s, and eventually, 1000s. The air is so still we are being invaded by black flies as the sunsets. Guess we’re going to be deprived of our final Lazio sunset after all as we quickly go below and close the boat down to avoid an infestation below deck. It’s stifling below, but, we have no choice but ...

After 15 minutes of navigating we called Sunsail’s base for a weather forecast and learned that Mahe’ was being pelted with 80-100 Km/hr winds ...
... sailing in rather than spend another suffocating night in the anchorage. In hindsight, it might have been wiser to remain protected in Baie St. Anne as I had gotten lazy and was no longer checking the local weather forecast. But, not knowing what was coming, we left again for a lovely “faralla” sail to Anse Petit Cour with 9-12k tradewinds at our stern.

With shopping done, we head off to Anse Lazio after paying our $15US fee for another day in the marine park.

Curieuse Lisa again caught a smaller bonito as we rounded the peninsula just outside the marine park area. With the fish in we ...
... they are so old they could have been served when John & I got married... The ride back to the ship took exactly as long as the ride out, making us the one and only cause for a one hour delay in our ship's departure from the Saychelles. Nothing makes Capt. Dag mad except being late. We don't know who he got mad at, but undoubtedly someone. We have now declared ourselves the official "kiss of death" excursion passengers.

You know, the one that you know really well but can't quite place? · Ordered the chicken tikka masala with dukai paratha & a side of cucumber raita. o Fabulous, fabulous food ... just right for my Indian food fix! If I rave about anything, it would be the smooth, velvety, creamy, mint chutney. It had the consistency of yoghurt. You know the kind that we get in Toronto that is like watery gravy? ... I ...
