To us Catholics Easter is the biggest celebration of the year. And so it was with some disappointment that we realized that we would be at sea for this time, despite our best planning. We have all the appropriate books to follow the services and some music to set the scene, but the there was Easter Sunday - the Big Dinner.
Not to be daunted we bought the only pieces of chicken we could find in Galapagos, and some potatoes. The chicken was lovingly boxed and with some careful stowage put next to the evaporator in the top of the fridge in hope that it would stay frozen. This meant daily cosseting, as, with the bumpy passage we are having and the need to get things out of the fridge, it kept trying to escape from its perch. The potatoes were eked out, keeping the right number to have at Easter.
So Easter Sunday came, the great celebration of the Resurrection, and we took out our treasures and Dave cooked a wonderful roast chicken (2 legs ) and perfect crispy roast potatoes (despite finding one of his treasures was no good - we still had plenty)and baby carrots and peas courtesy of Morrison's supermarket. Peaches to follow. Burp!!
We are getting closer and will soon have to pull out the approach charts - about 300 miles as I write this, or 2 days, sort of depending if we can keep our average up. I am looking forward to not falling over at every move - the last couple of days have been especially rolly.
