Gilligans Log Tuesday 20-May-2003 Day 4 - Blue Pearl Bay > Cataran Bay (M I only) > Whitehaven Night 4 - Whitehaven. Shena and Roofi were woken in the wee hours by the mooring buoy beating the crappers out of the starboard bow. The combination of wind and tide was causing the problem. With a substantial amount of alcohol still coursing in their veins, they numbly looked at the buoy for many minutes 'till a half arsed plan emerged to fix the problem. About an hour later and several attempts, the problem was fixed. The rest of the crew was either too pissed to notice or too pissed to get up. 1st beer today - Pat 11:50 Minnow I bugged out early today. While the rest of the crew was asleep, Ben (Long John) and Sal (Black Beard) up-ed the anchor and sailed away to Cataran Bay. Minnow II took a more leisurely approach (as their average age is above 43, or was it the big night before?) and had breakfast. Prior to breakfast Kirsten cracked it at the fridge/freezer and proceeded to clean and organise. It was also noticed at this time that Minnow II freezer was in sore, err, thor, err, thaw mode. This was traced to the 12-240 inverter being switched off. Kirsten has now become the Fridge Nazi and will hang, draw and quarter anyone who messes it up. Minnow I raced to Cataran Bay at a blistering 4.5 knots. Ben and Alan noticed a sloop entirely crewed by babes and dropped anchor as close as possible. For reasons Ben and Alan could not comprehend, the babes and the sloop up-ed anchor and took off. About this time Chelsea, Tennille & Thomas surfaced, Tennille sporting a massive hang over and almost drinking the Minnow I's dwindling water supply dry. Minnow I is now almost completely out of water and may have to shower using bottled water. Rumour has it that Thomas has single handedly used 799 litres of the 800-litre tank by having 2 long showers each day. Meanwhile, Minnow II had hoisted the Mizenmast and is under sail at an extravagant 6+ knots, waiting to rendezvous with Minnow I at Whitehaven Beach. Dolphins and turtles were spotted off the starboard bow. It was discovered while under sail that Brocky has impaired vision for BIG rocks, not so much 20/20 as 3/3. This vision problem is also experienced by Chelsea who had the helm of Minnow I and was up to ramming speed with a massive motor launch in her sites for a game of chicken. Whitehaven is extremely popular with all manner of tourists and it wasn't long before the inevitable happened - White Pointers. Suddenly the entire male contingent of Minnow I & II were on the beach puffing out their chests and putting socks down their Speedos. The girls would just have to play Frisbees on their own for a while. Activities included: Volley Ball - Team Pat/Sal/Brocky/Moon Ball Bayley apparently sucked. Lunch - Minnow I on the beach, Minnow II antipasto on the boat. Soccer - well just kicking the volleyball around really. Frisbee - wow, there are still people who don't know how to throw a Frisbee. Walking - Suz, Alison, Shena, Kirsten. They also spotted a 'ray. Running - Andy and Roofi - 8-9km - NZ Ironman here we come. Photography - Sal has attracted a stalker - look out for her on the cover of FHM. It's Official! Minnow I has run out of water, Minnow II showing little or no sympathy - all's fair in love, war and the high seas. Shena managed one of the more humorous incidents of the day. While showering on the port stern and bending down to pick up the soap (easy boys!!!) she slammed her head into the steps, resulting in a resounding boom and large lump. Dinner: Minnow I - Pasta a la not Sal(monella) Minnow II - Pasta a la Suz. During dinner both yachts were attacked by flocks of man eating, wine drinking, killer moths with wingspans and acoustics similar to that of a helicopter. These "muthas" meant business and would attack in groups of five or more. Sally (Naked Chef) has volunteered to cook the Minnow I meals so that she is relieved of any other duties. Minnow II has been coveting her considerable cooking skills and now that Minnow I now has no WoMD, a kidnapping has been considered as Minnow I are defenceless. The night was relatively subdued with the exception of a foot massage orgy on the boom net of Minnow II. Kirsten started it. Roofi and Shena spent the night on the net, despite Roofi have the biggest and most luxurious room on the yacht; he is yet to use it. In other news, Sally has no white bits. ("Prove it!" say the guys) Stop Press: Tennille saw a Turtle. New life goal now required. Any suggestions?
