Day 3
It is good Friday today, we will sail all day and arrive back to port around 4pm, the boat has been great..great people, great crew and great time...I find a piece of rope on the boat and skipper makes me a Turkish rope something..he tries to explain to me as he is tying it how it is done....uh...no not getting it, but I get a cool anklet, in America they are big in Nantucket where I think they are called something else????
The winds are fast today and the weather brilliant, we arrive back in Airlie to early and have to tack and turn and go back out to sea for a bit...it is fun and we get to see and race a few other beautiful boats along the way. We all make plans to meet for dinner and drinks at Beaches tonight..later to learn all the crazy good Friday rules..So on Good Friday in Australia there is no drinking alcohol, restaurants get around it if they are serving food....so....we get to Beaches and the line for the food is to the door, you can order food but you get a slip with the time on it and you can only drink for 1.5 hours after you order the meal and no one can drink at all after 10pm...soooo... at 8:30 the doors are shut and no more food cause it is 1.5 hrs til 10pm and..all our crew is left on the other side of the doors...all bars and restaurants are now closed until midnight when they can reopen!!!! We are stuck in beaches and about 2/3 of us are stuck outside...bummer...Thanks for the trip!!!
