Better than expected weather

The forecast was for a stormy windy day but so far – 4:30pm it has been delightful.

We didn’t do much today. Just puttered around the boat, installed some chaffing on the mooring lines and removed the flags – no sense in letting them beat themselves to death.

We went to the library this morning which is only open from 10am – noon but closed today because of a yard bake sale being held on the grounds there. Karen bought about 8 books for $2. Headed to the grocery store for a couple of things but they were out of eggs – arrrgh. I like me eggs. More expected by 3pm today but they were not there when I checked at 3:30pm. Maybe tomorrow.

On Fridays a sport fishing boat comes into the public Dock and sells fresh fish and conch salad. I wanted to buy some yellow snapper but the smallest quantity they had (they sell by the Ziploc bagful) was 2.5 lbs for $25. I didn’t want that much fish and again the conch salad was heavy on salad and light on conch (for $10) so I passed.

Other than that we just relaxed and read today. No big adventure but you need to take a day off now and then.

Ohh today’s pictures show the delivery of good to the Island and the water taxi which comes every couple of hours ferrying people in and off the Island. Enjoy. Not how they unload the delivery boat – a chain gang tossing packages between each other.
