SO have some of you that have known me since we arrived in St Lucia 17 years ago, saw how we got here and I looked like Karien, ( ja, teeny weeny and thin and slim ) ...

Then as I started doing the boat more than 9 years ago it was SOOOOOOOO nice to always just take a Bar One, Lunch Bar , Coke and ANOTHER packet of chips to keep my jaws going between the trips as there was no time to get off the boat and go and make a salad - - - eventually leading up to 80kg of Riëtte Bennett  - - -

NOW you might ask WHAT has this got to do with condensmilk ????????

I L.O.V.E condensmilk ! Everybody that knows ME , knows THAT! If Berno want's a day off in a busy schedule he sneeks in with a tin of condensmilk and a grin on his face , and starts his sentence with antiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii......then I know he again WANTS something !!!!!!!!  Every 2^nd ounce of kilojoules on my thunder thighs is due to condensmilk !!!!!!!!!!!!

Now  - - - the MILK of a WHALE is LIKE condensmilk ! The little calf doesn't drink ON the mother whale , the mom ‘'spouts'' out a whole lot of ‘'condensed -like'' milk and this is then swallowed by the little HUMPBACK whale calf ....

Yummy yummy , wish I was a baby whale !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway ..............i'm off to the jetty .............just thought I'd share my laugh with you ...........
