A nice way to spend 24 hours is to arrive at the boat in the evening , head out , perhaps sailing a little in the dark ( we have full navigation lights and have wrestled a few times with the challenges and excitement of night sailing ) , anchor for the night in a secure bay and watch the moon over a meal and bottle of wine , then up in the morning for pancakes , coffee , a sail , and back home the next day . She is now by far the most cultured among us . After a few minutes we predicted that boredom would soon set in , but instead we were mesmerized and stayed for over two hours - - the only non-Indians in the audience . Pam has been learning the marimba at weekends : a large xylophone on legs and wheels that spans over three octaves , attacked by up to three players with two beaters each . It had been a difficult time , but the difficult parts were pretty well over by the time Ian arrived . Actually we were cat-sitting , and as Calgary has appallingly strict pet control rules the two poor animals were only allowed outside on a leash . Following applause , the skipper rowed over and invited us round for a drink . The house is in an up-market area among many trees - - a worry with all the conflagrations around Sydney at the moment , but Anna assures us she 's OK. For many months Anna worked in a video rental store . While Saul and Ian tackled Paradise Valley , a long , arduous , but very rewarding ski trip , Nikki and Pam took Jake skating on Lake Louise .
