The day we arrived to Montserrat we planned to go to the shore, but Bosse fell a sleep and when he woke up it was already after dark, so we just stayed on the boat and did few chess games. I just learned how to play few weeks ago and I lose all the time…
The morning after, we took the dinghy and went to the island. First, we had to go to the custom office and pay some money and then we went to the immigration office to get a stamp in the passport (its not always like this, but here we got a stamp). Then, we became real tourists and took a taxi tour with a driver that supposed to be also a guide, but he wasn’t that good. Any way, at least we saw the island. The interesting thing about Montserrat is that in the south part of the island there is a volcano, that erupted last in 1995 and ruined 7 of 8 towns in the island and because of it, around 10000 people left the island and only 4500 people left there.
In the evening Assaf made chicken in carry since we bought some products in town and then we used Bosses laptop and we found a free internet connection, a very bad connection, but still we could check mails.

Early in the morning Assaf and I took the dinghy, mask and snorkel and went snorkeling. It was nice but we didn’t see special things accept the things that bite us - small purple cruel jelly fish…
When we came back, we changed all together the main sail because it turned apart and then we started sailing towards Nevis. The sailing was very good, we had good wind and Assaf caught a
fish! Yesterday he made a bait and it didn’t look to us like something a fish will “buy”, so we laughed at him, but he proved us that it was good. So of course for lunch we ate fish and it was very tasty!
Now we are anchoring near Charlestown, the only town in this island. Its very beautiful. For change there are many yachts here, and the sunset in the background of them is amazing. In front of us on the beach there are many palm trees and pelicans flying.
