Nick gets off the island

Traditionally, after the Governor’s Cup Yacht Race is finished there is a race around the bay, but today there were so many people wanting to get onto the yachts that they cancelled the race and simply took the landlubbers out a distance. Nick and Geoff had to wait at the landing steps for about two hours to get onto one of the yachts, and then were out for about an hour and a half…Geoff skippered. Meanwhile, Pam and I had been wandering around town. We tried to have a milkshake at the Coffee Shop, but they were closing as we got there, having run out of supplies. Maddy and the boys were swimming, and the boys also took advantage of the slippery slide set up in the mule yard. Eventually we got bored of being in town, so we hauled the kids out the pool and went back to Pam’s place for a picnic. The picnic was originally planned for Piccolo, but what with the yacht race it was rearranged…we should have had it in the Mule Yard but that wasn’t going to work out either. It was much more pleasant to have it in Pam’s lounge!
