In the morning we sailed to St. Kitts. We anchored outside the marina (if I didn’t mention it yet, Bosse likes to save money as much as possible and it is good for us, but in this case the anchoring place was not well protected from winds, so the boat was moving a lot. After we anchored, we went to the town, saw the circus (suppose to be similar to Piccadilly circus in London), we saw few funny things like a colorful bus full of children singing and women going in the street with rolls in the hair
. After eating in some cheap Chinese restaurant, we returned to the boat.29/04/07
Diving, finally!
Early in the morning Assaf and I took the dinghy to the marina, from their the diving boat was suppose to pick us up. But they have their own times here. 8.45 became 9.30, but eventually we went diving. The first dive was not special as I thought it will be. IT was a reef dive but unfortunately, no sharks (and not rays or anything special) but the second dive was much nicer. It was a wreck that many corals were grown on it and close to it a drawn van and bulldozer…
After the dives we had a good shower in the fancy showers of the marina.
In the last few days it was raining few times and its strange because its hot but rainy.
Boat life...
I will write a little bit about the boat. The name of the boat is “Mi Marra”, its home part is in Sweden.
It’s a 39 feet slope moody. There are 3 cabins, 2 of them in the front (one is our storage and the second which contains a bad in shape of triangle is our sleeping room) and in the back cabin sleeps Bosse.
We have 2 taps, one is for sea water and we use him most of the time and the other tap is with sweet water, we use it for drinking and cooking. We operate them by pressing something with the leg. The toilets are working with pumps.
Most of the food we eat is from cans, but when we arrive to an island we buy some fresh food like vegetables (very expensive here), fruits (they don’t have here so much fruits, which is very weird) and some meat.
Sometimes we use the fact that we are sailing for achieving food, like fish (Assaf is really trying to fish a lot after the first time he succeed within 15 minutes, but we guess it was just beginners luck…). One time Bosse found many green bananas floating on the water, so he picked them up and after few days we could eat them…

Today in the morning we took the dinghy to the shore and went to buy food for the Atlantic. You can not believe how much pasta, rice, cans, etc. we bought. Its even more than you will think about buying before a war or something like that. It was not an easy operation to move all the huge 5 boxes to the boat, but we did it. And then, the mission was to arrange everything (you have to think about a way to arrange it and it will not fall if the boat moves…).
