Got up this morning and start working on fishing again. After catching one, there’s no luck for another one. Because it is Sunday, there are so many fishing boats around the island, so are the annoying noise maker jet skis. Since living onboard, whenever the weekend comes, we look forward Monday, because weekdays are a lot quieter.
While preparing for lunch inside, I heard J yelled ‘Peggy and Anne!’ I immediately came up to have a look and it was indeed the boat that gave us a helping hand before. On 28th January this year, we went to the Gold Coast to do antifoul, the engine was stopped working halfway, we could only sail by wind. When we are close to shipyard, wind stopped completely, we put out a sign asking for help. It was that boat who went pass and gave us a tow to shipyard, so we didn’t miss the appointment. It was a small world that they met again here. They approached us and said hello. They planned to stay here for two weeks.
In the afternoon, the owners of the neighbour boat invited us to their boat for sundowners, also invited a couple from another boat. Six people had a drink in the sunset and chat about sailing experience and boat life, complained about annoying JetSkis and Donal Trump. These two couples all have lived onboard for years and have visited many places. The Polish lady and her partner have travelled to many countries in Asia. She mentioned many places and cities. It was getting late so we went back to our boats and I’m sure we’ll meet again somewhere.
Since we only have one fish tonight, I cooked it with tofu and cabbage, added some Korean hot Chilli sauce. Not bad at all.
