We landed at Seychelles airport. These guys only want rich tourists, so have your residence plans all handy. Our airbnb for everybody was up the mountain, and that's quite a ride.
It was total jungle in the back yard, but if you walked too far, it was all garbage in the river. Lots of big fruit bats.
Wifi and internet is nearly impossible. The boat wanted $500 US for the week, so we said forget it. This place had wifi, so we waited there for the boat.
We got 3 nice fish over the course of the trip and we always had them wonderfully prepared. Our cook and captain were amazing.
After the hectic pace of Ethiopia, this trip is for relaxing. Every two years we try to get the kids together. They are all 30 something, and scattered -- super busy. The last time we went to the British Virgin Islands on a catamaran, and we wanted to do the same. Only, we had a window of late Sept to early October.
That's hurricane season for most of the world, and too cold for anything north. So, we settled on the Seychelles. We chose a magnificent 62 foot cat from Dream Yachts and it was wonderful. For bookings, they should be contacted directly at Dream Yacht Charters.
Above are seasickness goggles. The Seasick Girls refused to wear them at first, but were soon wearing them all the times, especially when playing cards. The hardier people enjoyed the smooth ride of the big cat. Once you sail on the open ocean, you'll never go back to smaller boats.
However, for this boat, we needed to organize 12 people. And we went in the shoulder season when you get off and on rain. A week later and price nearly doubles. The Seychelles is Europe's Caribbean.
This is the drone shot of the boat. You can see how I always landed on the boat. Luckily the Yuneec Breeze is a Crash Master. Falls apart and snaps together. Once you get near the boat, all the automatics go crazy. ** the video is now fixed to remove empty zones and cut out the crash**
This is a testimonial we promised the charter because they were so nice to us. Nobody got paid.
Most maples have dropped. and the oaks are turning. Very nice weather due to that mysterious blip that warmed the Arctic. Vancouver is now getting what we should be getting, record cold. The Arctic is now turning cold again.
For closing, we are burning a lot of scrap branches. I'm fixing a lot of things. It's best to do it now, rather than buggy Spring.
