CREW PICKUP

September 26, 2014

We had a nice casual morning and relaxed a bit.  We had not heard from our crew although they were scheduled to arrive some time today.  We were on standby waiting for some word from them on "What's App", a texting and calling app that is free worldwide as long as you have an internet connection.  We finally got a message that two or three of the crew would be in this afternoon.

As it turned out, two of our crew arrived this afternoon.  Since we had a car, we decided that we would go to the airport and give them a ride to their lodging.

We picked up Paula and Shirley and started the trip to their lodging.  Our bungalow was about 4 miles from the airport and marina.  As it turned out, their lodging was on the other side of the island.  With that in mind, they got a tour of the island.  

Their lodging was right on the beach.  Nice cool place and it looked comfortable.  We hung out for a while and had a drink and a snack and then we left to start our way back to the bungalow.  

We got back to the bungalow and settled in.  We found out that two more of the crew were coming in later that early evening, but we did not know when.  Their flights had been upset due to the Air France pilot strike.  We take possession of the boat tomorrow so we had time for the others to arrive.  We ate, lounged a little bit and then went to sleep under our mosquito netted bed.  There was a nice breeze blowing through.
