In a few short days the entire face of Swahili Divers and the Kervan Saray Beach lodge have been changed by the arrival of the “anti corruption unit”. A force of five to seven workers who hail from the Island of Jersey (where corruption was invented) and South Wales. (where fishing is still practiced). Still refusing to pay bribes, the team valiantly fix boats, install intercoms, mend rods and go out fishing. Our brand new Yamaha boat is coming closer and closer to completion. Our old and valiant rib, Rockhoppa is being dismantled. We have a rejuvenation program designed for her in some time. (when I can afford even more engines!)
As you can see by the images attached they are having a great time. When they catch a fish, they will have even more fun.
Dinner is proving to be a huge laugh in our new restaurant. Long tables of single people and couples mix easily. We are even being nice to our resident Australians which is a novelty for us. Fresh fish (Not caught y the ACU ) by the glow of an oil lantern, washed down by some reasonable wine or safari beer makes for such a
great way to end the day. Again the ACU wish it were their fish that we were eating, but more on that later).
As every day goes by, we discover more dive sites and see more fish and seabirds. The rains are due in the middle of April, and we can see the clouds building. We had a drop or two of rain on the surface today, but luckily we escaped it all by being underwater. It is late as I write this and I know that the tide is in, because I can hear the waves crashing on the beach in the night. I must to bed, more news, as soon as the Whelsh catch it!
With warm wishes from the little green island off the coast of Africa. R
