Halloween isn't until tomorrow but Annie, Eric and Bear have invited us to share the celebrations today as they plan to leave for Australia early tomorrow morning. There was still time for one final dive together – a pretty drift along the reef. Our mistake was to go with the slight current at the start and then had to swim back against the strengthened current to get back to the dinghy. All good exercise for our flabby sea legs! We've come to the conclusion New Cal is a poor cousin to Vanuatu and Fiji for dive sites, possibly because everything we've done is inside the huge lagoon which surrounds Grand Terre.
Quietly snoozing and reading in the afternoon sun we were brazenly boarded by pirates, or more accurately, a Mexican cowboy (Bear), a fat ballerina (Eric) and a sexy vampiress, demanding treats and threatening tricks. Mishearing the demands we gave a treat and played a trick. As I offered sweets to Bear David jumped out with the air horn and a water pistol. Tee hee!

Not being a kid boat we don't have fancy dress costumes on board instead we went to the Mexican theme party as holiday makers with a twist, David wore my dress and me his shirt and shorts. David was under strict instructions not to flex his muscles for danger of splitting the seams!

Another great night and sadly the last we share this season with the Osos and with Mystery Shippers for tomorrow morning they head west to Australia and we're staying for a few more days waiting for wind to take us back to NZ.
