Debbie being the European world traveler she is, had no problem tanning in the buff, me on the other hand…a little more prude. However, I was on a yacht in the middle of the Andaman Sea…so I figured why not give it a shot. With my sarong close by, I stripped down and lay on the trampoline on the front of the boat, what a weird feeling – the warm sun beating down on my butt and water sprays cooling down my front. I must say I achieved a pretty even tan, which for this pale skinned African, was pretty impressive!

One of the nights we decided to have a braai (aka a BBQ to the rest of the world) on one of the Islands close to us. We invited the members aboard Tao (a couple from Cape Town, South Africa) as well as the crew of another yacht. We took the dingy to the island and left it on the shore, found a open beach where we set up the braai.

Lee, Debbie and I took advantage of the tranquility and privacy o the beach…we ventured aroud the island a little ‘til we found a secluded spot and continuing our naked streak, we stripped almost nude and took some artistic silhouette pics with the sun setting in the background. It was really fun and artistic...haha
The night progressed with playing a game of “AND” which is probably not the real name of the game, but I feel it is the most descriptive. Basically you start by saying something like, “I went to the mall…AND…” then the next person adds a part of the story and ends with “…AND…” and the story continues…and let me tell you the story gets more and more ridiculous as you go along. I can’t remember the whole story but I do remember it involved giant rats and Francis (the man in the boat close to us…who wore a pink Speedo…) hmmm, and then of course on cue we started hearing noises in the bushes around us and the game ended! We carried on our little braai on the beach and was later joined by Francis (in his pink Speedo…) hmmm if that part of the story could come true…maybe there were giant rats close by?

After the braai ended we all headed back to the dingy, this was one of my favourite nights in India, due to the fact that I felt like a princess ...haha. As we rode back to Katrine the phosphorescence lit up the water, and I felt like a Disney character flying on a magic carpet of pixie dust, ah! Any way enough of the fairy fantasies…although I do have to add that when you flush the toilet at night it fills up with fairy phosphorescence too! I may or may not have flushed a couple extra times just to see the water sparkle…
