F PET CUBRA ANYO E? Colombo was a scenic port and lots of photos were taken of the colorful sights. The weather was again good to us, but the winds did freshen slightly to cause boating to be a bit rough. The American Embassy staff came on board to purchase items of necessity that could not be purchased in Sri Lanka and found it a bit difficult to board in the choppy waves.

RI LAN RE PLE DE T ISLAN .,, vi I Q 1 T. . Colombo, Sri Lanka was our third port of call in the Western Pacific, as in Hong Kong we anchored out. The boat ride was almost as long, but the trip was Worth it. Sri Lanka is an ancient country which is recorded in history as far back as 543 B.C. The Greeks and Romans had embassys. The island was so important that the Portuguese occupied Sri Lanka for over one hundred years. The Dutch then overthrew the Portuguese and occupied Sri Lanka for over another hundred years. It was then controlled by the British until 1947 when it became independent. Sri Lanka was called Ceylon during its British domination. As Sri Lanka was controlled by India longer than any other country, you igetthe impression that you are in India while visiting this island. There were plenty of snake charmers to greet you and the local dress was typical of India. TRUXTUN sailors spent plenty of money here buying semi-precious stones at great discounts.
