Here I am on Cocos Islands. Geez, how does it sound?!?!?! A while ago, I did not even know where it was!!!
It is dark, I was tied to a buoy a while ago and I don’t see much: a white strip and shades of palm trees in the moonlight... Before I entered the port, a fan belt snapped. By the time I fixed it, it turned out that guys from the port will move Tanasza to a lagoon. There was a whole bunch of them, they have even sent me a red flare... Full service, wow... Being here is just fantastic!!! I don’t know how “here” looks like yet, but I am “here”, and in time for my meeting!
Tanasza is marvellous, what a spirit!!! I decided not to enter the port today, but she was intent on doing it so that I can sleep safe.
And so here I am – they say: “Wherever you are – be there.”
Tomorrow at 10am local time (ZULU!!! GMT +6,5H) I will have some officials visiting me, so for the time being I wish everyone a good night... (Best wishes from Cocos Islands!!! HA!!!)
