Well another weather opportunity that did not meet the poor forecast. Don’t get me wrong – I like nice weather but when I’m paying for a mooring I like to know that I’m doing it for good reason. After 2 days here I’m staying because of the poor weather forecast which has not panned out. The wind has not been as strong and the torrential rains have not come. Well while staying trying to make the best of it.
It looked like poor weather this morning but then it turned into a fairly nice day.
Karen made 2 loaves of bread this morning – the first on this boat and it has turned out great. When was the last time you ate a crust of bread and had a beer for a snack?! Very good.
After lunch we went to town and walked down lanes and alleys we haven’t tried before. Very interesting in many ways and very depressing when we came across a very old unkempt cemetery.. I can’t believe they can have a cemetery on this island and not maintain it. Horrible. All head stones were defaced or destroyed, trees had grown up through grave sites then cut down leaving the stump in the grave, high growth, etc. It is a site of about 25 graves behind the public park/pool here.
I got a nice picture of the island hopping freighter than comes here every day around noon. This is how all goods arrive in Hopetown.
Not much else to report. The invasion of charter boats yesterday were very well behaved last night and all left this morning. I wonder where they went because a BIG blow comes here tomorrow or so it is forecast. We will probably leave after this next cold front passes through. Ohhh this is the one that is FREEZING you northerners. The high here tomorrow is expected to be 68 degrees after a low of 60 degrees tonight. Just might have to find some long pants tomorrow!!
