Boat Spotters of the Caribbean

How do you know if a rallyist, or many rallyists are bearing down on you? Here's a handy guide to the boats in the Rally. Hopefully I'll update it when I get  better shots. Its not complete - yet! Maybe you'll be able to tell what I'm talking about. People look like their pets, maybe they look like there yachts too....

Any resemblance to actual boats, floating or sunk is if not entirely co- incidental, far from certain. Boats look similar in thumbnails, and I can't spell well.

Moorea

Moorea, Tahiti's twin island, much less spoilt, smaller population. Fabulous anchorages. Beautiful fringing reef.

A Fish Called Wanda

My camera leaked so you could see these pictures.

Niki Naki

Niki Naki refers to a badly pronounced gaff by a former skipper

Hakaui

Aka "Daniel's Bay". Beach BBQ, water fall walk and around fabulousness

Floreana

Day trip to Floreana. Snorkelling with sealions, splashing with sharks, frolicking with frigate birds, tottering with tortoises and pestering penguins

Evolution - survival of the fatest

Evolution? Survival of the fittest, bollocks survival of the fattest more like. I have never in my life seen so many lazy animals on one island. Sealions asleep in the hotels, giant tortoises too tired to lift their head off the ground let alone put it away. Boobies, pelicans and herons in the fish market, in it. Now that's evolving to suit your environment. And Lonesome George most famousist of all tortoise's butt sticking out from a bush.

Ad Hoc Recommissioning

Island Kea went sailing today, we were all to buisy with sheets furlers halyards and even the odd tricing line to actually take any photos.

Accidentally we had a recommissioning party, first in the bar. Then on the boat. Long day kanackerd.
