I can still make bread but we're worried about propane now. We had Chantey over for dinner last night and we finished off the very last of the wine and whiskey so things are certainly getting desperate. No vegetables, no fruit and next to nothing in the pantry as far as tinned foods go. For a few more days to come, it looks as though we're in for fish and rice, and rice and fish with side orders of fish, and for dessert, yup, fish. I think I may just be put off fish for a while after this.
Paul's used the time fruitfully with a variety of boat projects bringing back the reminder of that old adage that cruising is just fixing one's boat in exotic ports. We haven't even been off the boat other than to visit Chantey; they did a wonderful pizza the other night but are also running low on food.
We heard that Zorana has made it safely down to Richard's Bay but that it was a pretty rough and wet trip. Radio communication has been fairly abysmal so we aren't aware of where most of the fleet is, whether they're hiding out in Inhaca or have managed to get into Richard's Bay. However, we could hear that a couple of the boats are still up in Bazaruto where the weather is a bit better.
We'll wait for the morning report on the synoptic charts to decide if it's a go or not. We can't get out of here except on higher tides as there's a sand bar across the entrance; so we sit. We're prepared to put up with some SE winds but SW? no, they can prove a tad frightening and extremely uncomfortable.
