The perfect end to a day in Watamu is to relax and have a sundowner. Where you are when you have your drink can make it even more special. Here are our <a href="https://www.blogger.com/"><span id="goog_650769133"></span>#DiscoverWatamu<span id="goog_650769134"></span></a> choices for location along with a suggestion of the cocktail you might drink while your there.</div>

Apart from being one of Watamu's favourite restaurants, the <a href="https://web.facebook.com/Pilipan-restaurant-1642231709323299/?fref=ts" target="_blank">Pilipan</a> is also a cocktail bar of note - with tiered seating looking out over Prawn Lake from where you get magnificent views of the sunset. Saturday from 5pm to 7pm is Happy Hour (or two, but who's counting?). The <b>Passion & Ginger</b> <b>Mojitos</b> and the <b>RasPill</b>i cocktails are tried and tested and well worth downing when you are there. Then if you are hungry after your cocktail? Well, there's not to far to go to get a delicious meal.</div>

From one Dhow to another, and no #Watamu Sundowner list would be complete without the entire experience of a Sundowner aboard the <a href="http://www.turtlebaykenya.com/" target="_blank">Turtle Bay Dhow</a>. Take a group of friends or meet some new ones as you cruise along with Mida Creek supplied with delicious bitings and as much of the bar as you can consume (adults only on that one!). The ultimate cocktail to start your <a href="http://www.turtlebaykenya.com/" target="_blank">Turtle Bay</a> Sundowner Cruise has to be the <b>Dawa</b> (available also as a Mocktail) and although there is a recipe below - it may not be exactly the same as <a href="http://www.turtlebaykenya.com/" target="_blank">Turtle Bay's</a> and to experience the real thing you have to get on board!</div>

This photograph, (yes photograph) was taken in Watamu in April 2013. The drama of an African sky is not limited Up Country. Artists take note - this is the perfect place to brush up on your skills (no pun intended). It may be the Low Season in Watamu but it is nonetheless beautiful.<div>

There were 7 entries - no limit on number of fishermen or rods off any boat. The points were awarded as 1 point per 10g of fish caught, divided by the number of rods fished. There had to be at least one under 16 year old per boat.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia;">
Lines out at 2pm, following hot dogs and sodas aboard Geoff Bell's pontoon in Mida Creek. It was a pretty quiet day, fishing wise - 3 hours of fishing (lines in at 5pm) resulted in no fish for Sundance (last year's winners - the Engels and the Davies), King (Cameron Harries and Rupert) or Ali Tati (5 kids aboard including the Taylors, Tiva Moller and Owen Ashley). </div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia;">
The prize for Oldest Competitior went to Chris Venn, who fished with his family aboard 'Nduru', with his grandson, Joseph (aged 10) responsible for a 1.2kg Kole Kole and taking the most successful boy angler prize (photo attached). 'Nduru' came in fourth place with 4 points.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia;">
The youngest male competitior went to Xander Curtis who fished aboard 'Hoof Hearted', skippered by Pete Darnborough and fished by Pete's family. 'Hoof Hearted' came third with 5.5 points, thanks largely to a 1kg Kole Kole from Sean Darnborough (aged 12).</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia;">
The Scott Family, aboard 'Shika' came in second overall, having fished 2 rods and scoring a total of 7.5 points.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia;">
The clear winners, though, were 'Triple S' on 11.1 points. A number of prizes here, including a double prize for youngest girl competitor and most successful female junior going to two year old Sasha Looman, and largest fish going to her mother, Sarah Looman, for a 2.9kg Kole Kole. 'Triple S' was an all girl crew of Sarah Looman, Sasha Looman and Sandra Helier (photo attached.).</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02751737536777471263noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193121021983707360.post-75183698574708097522012-02-28T07:30:00.001-08:002012-02-28T07:30:50.527-08:00Peace - it is a wonderful thingThis morning, when I took the dogs down to the beach, there was an amazing number of small fish leaping about in the sea. That and a few rather shiny, leathery, smiley Italian ladies paddling in amongst the fish - how do you not worry about getting a tan that dark?<br />
Tanned women aside, it was one of those spectacular mornings where the air seemed cleaner than normal, the colours almost unreal, and the peace only interrupted by the lapping of the waves - utterly mesmerizing.

Somewhat bizarrely anything I post here is time-stamped as yesterday. Today is Thursday 3rd February - I was up at 5.45am - I have walked down the beach, I have taken some photos for the website, and yet when I post this it will be marked down as 2nd Feb. if only I could catch up on work that way - always to have a day in hand - wouldn't that be great?<br />
It is a lovely, bright morning on the beach today. Not too many folk that I noticed, mainly as I tune out the world and listen to an audiobook as I walk - there is something very satisfying about listening to a story set on a cold blustery night in Scotland whilst walking on a beach in Kenya as the sun comes up. So, my apologies to E and D for not hearing them whooping behind me for a while - they could have been part of the audiobook. Keep up the striding down the beach girls, and enjoy your well deserved cappuccino!<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSA1LuoytjswJ9iAX8OAPDDTrYePXxln6_DxlTRAi2Vjju21YvwXsNu5iNfj4SCGWndcrsq01p9bJ6W_TfVgssFdbgUcElp_pZw-u5feOKTfroZsU-pWO36O2oBAJXivmlsn0ofuE8HVtf/s640/blogger-image-543290407.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSA1LuoytjswJ9iAX8OAPDDTrYePXxln6_DxlTRAi2Vjju21YvwXsNu5iNfj4SCGWndcrsq01p9bJ6W_TfVgssFdbgUcElp_pZw-u5feOKTfroZsU-pWO36O2oBAJXivmlsn0ofuE8HVtf/s640/blogger-image-543290407.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxrPOi-E7tu_1RZ6zR4O3PT2T-RJ3hHKqqu_jvtDCtdmIfv9LFv6A4Io5tp-cQmL613efEJyk9sCDXERGi3IgIpVpHxIXHgsci4mYlq220ekFyP6wgc7FZed5JEE-lxx5fxa-lBRWZKY-V/s640/blogger-image--162887952.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxrPOi-E7tu_1RZ6zR4O3PT2T-RJ3hHKqqu_jvtDCtdmIfv9LFv6A4Io5tp-cQmL613efEJyk9sCDXERGi3IgIpVpHxIXHgsci4mYlq220ekFyP6wgc7FZed5JEE-lxx5fxa-lBRWZKY-V/s640/blogger-image--162887952.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzl_Mo1tfYysQPTx6C7AIvrbsoOyQD60_3hE9fLsoQRvzQ4DvXq62C3axgo79Ja0C_Er-bHEYHrIbyvb-X2-2dY-NYAuMinTt5XUFnsFZPexD-iYJVeisE9_9Iakopx3sD_8M_uID69JlQ/s640/blogger-image--696574347.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzl_Mo1tfYysQPTx6C7AIvrbsoOyQD60_3hE9fLsoQRvzQ4DvXq62C3axgo79Ja0C_Er-bHEYHrIbyvb-X2-2dY-NYAuMinTt5XUFnsFZPexD-iYJVeisE9_9Iakopx3sD_8M_uID69JlQ/s640/blogger-image--696574347.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWwAoA-d3pom4qk0x1zQbC029DDlkXS-cqz4WkfhfRmEzUDG8kKYuDpIRAFqcz1ymumIzRzGy8BJAwgpKu5iEFN-x2iBbmJx5pfJOeV_t6fA4Q3uNDWLfNCGF7mT7WjuEYGL7pcfYyN2XJ/s640/blogger-image--789012360.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWwAoA-d3pom4qk0x1zQbC029DDlkXS-cqz4WkfhfRmEzUDG8kKYuDpIRAFqcz1ymumIzRzGy8BJAwgpKu5iEFN-x2iBbmJx5pfJOeV_t6fA4Q3uNDWLfNCGF7mT7WjuEYGL7pcfYyN2XJ/s640/blogger-image--789012360.jpg" /></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02751737536777471263noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193121021983707360.post-39393450500233731612012-01-31T21:01:00.000-08:002012-01-31T21:01:46.917-08:00Good Morning, Watamu!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
