Thursday [15th November]

Got up early & went to Agency. The Resident wanted to change the plans & go to Budeya instead as it was
very rough but eventually decided to motor to Budeya & cross to island. The Shaikh came over from
Muharraq & went by car & we did the same, later. Crossed from Budeya to the island, very rough in the
open sea & unpleasant when we had to turn, Worth was nearly sick & some of the Arabs looked very ill. It
took us over an hour to arrive. I myself didn't mind it. Reached the island & walked about the garden.
Lovely day, I wore a thick coat but felt very comfortable. Had a good lunch, usual Arab style in the garden
