Friday 18th May

TTs etc to Jidda

Went to Jidda after breakfast by lunch, a lovely day, cool with a breeze in the morning. Lazed about &
bathed, roof not yet begun on the pergola. The T.T.s were expected to lunch. At 2 pm I gave up waiting &
had mine, they arrived at 5.30 after being rescued by the launch which I had sent to tow them. After a cold
meal they went off in the launch, to Manama, towing the tomtit. Tide & wind were against them & they
would never have got back under their own sail. A lovely sunset.
