Not so dry tubes...

Unfortunately we had a little accident with our camera involving our not so dry, dry tube and a great big gust of wind. Roisin was having a windsurfing lesson and Lee, Tevo and I were powering up and down the lagoon in a catamaran having a great time. The rope for the main sail accidentally locked down as we made the turn and the huge wind took us over like a matchstick boat. Rather unnervingly as we clung onto our capsized vessel we started to drift at alarming speed since the upturned boat acted as another sail, taking us our across the outer reef edge into the main channel. Next stop Africa! Tried as we might we just couldn't right the boat. Fortunately we had been spotted and within a short while a speedboat was dispatched and he soon had us upright and heading back to shore. Rather exciting but the dry tube had filled itself with water and Tevo's new camera is now refusing to switch itself on. Perhaps we can rescue the pictures from the memory card. We are hoping so as it has all the pictures from the wedding although we were able to copy some from Palitha and Stephanie's computer (who we have since met up with again at their Negombo villa).

Hope to post some pictures soon.
