Still in Bayona, Part 2

More to the point, we have been having a really good, social time here. I offered to help a fellow cruiser, John, to clear his prop which had become tangled with old rope and fishing gear & after seeing all the fish down there I returned with my spear gun. This was the 1st non-mullet I had caught & we identified it as a trigger fish. It was also the first time in 9 years which I had been scuba diving & my first ever solo dive! I discovered it was easier to spear the fish from the pontoon & we soon had enough for a cracking barby on "Sun Fun".

The next day John caught some more fish (with a net) & we had another barby, this time with Berit and Kjell ("Maridadi") who are on their way home to Sweden with Micke the dog. It was a fun & interesting evening. John has been living aboard "Sun Fun" for 7 years & Berit & Kjell for 12, during which time they have been around the world, so there was never a shortage of stories to be told.

Thanks to Johns computer skills Vega 1494 can now receive weatherfax on the laptop (cheers Alan!) & will soon be up & running with electronic charts too.

Our new Swedish friends are on a tight budjet & they have given us many cash-saving tips, one of which we have already put into practice : See photo of our home-grown mung bean sprouts!
