Roast Lamb on the Beach

Having been invited onto other boats for meals I decided to reciprocate and cook a meal for a few people. Sadiqi is just too small for more than 4 people to sit comfortable and eat a meal – especially in this heat. I decided to buy a leg of lamb and cook it in the little Cobb BBQ. Fortunately Don and Jean, who run Sailors Foods, came to my assistance with a chicken roasted in their Cobb and vegetables.
The victims were:
  • Rob and Wendy – Aja – Fremantle -  Aus (formerly from South Africa)
  • Nigel – Lemalou –– 55 foot Hartley - Thailand
  • Don and Jean – Katrine – catamaran - South Africa
  • Ron, Juliet, Errol and Deidre- Fountaine Pajot catamaran - South Africa
  •  Me – Sadiqi – Fremantle - Aus

We congregated on one of the man made islands that protect the Telga anchorage. It was a real ex South Africa gathering as Nigel commented on the next day. The roast lamb was a real success the 1.5Kg boneless leg was just not quite enough for 11 people.
I ended up suffering an acute case of CRAFT. It was a very pleasant evening – what I can remember of it.
