Tonight us Brits had Bonfire Night celebrations on the dock. We lit a small bonfire and pretended we had fireworks (by all going "ahhh" and "weee" whilst looking and pointing up into the night sky), and drank hot chocolate, ate Bonfire Toffee and Parkin Cake and roasted marshmallows...some crazy folk even came wrapped up in hats and gloves and scarves, even though it was about 30 degrees. We finished with a Ceilidh courtesy of our three Scottish crewmates. Crew from other nationalities standing nearby clearly thought we were daft. Photo of the five of us warming our hands over the fire. Olly

Great you folks got to do something for Guy Fawkes night. Alas, we don't have space for a bonfire, and you can't get fireworks in Cotonou until late December!! Sounds like the weather's as warm there as here - roll on the Harmattan!
PS Hope Sally got her voice back (for her sake if not for yours, Olly!!!)
