Just another nice day in GTC. This place is just so pleasant. This morning just after sunrise we could hear songbirds chirping melodiously. The ubiquitous rooster crowing in the distant. I was reluctant to start the generator to charge batteries and heat water. Just every thing seems right with the world here. Except for real estate prices!!
We went for a walk on the ocean side beach this morning and passed a low spot in the road – probably marshy during the rainy season. It had a for sale sign – 100’ by 199’ for $199,000 Gross!! That is GROSS!! Not water front not even water view property.
The beach was very clean. We only found one piece of Sea Glass and some assorted shells.
Later in the morning I decided to fill the Aft water tank – it was nearly empty and I hate pulling the anchor just to top off water and fuel so I jerry jugged about 60 gallons of water. One has a better appreciation for water conservation when one has to heft about 60lbs of water over the side of the boat – each jerry can near overflow weighs that much.
A check on fuel and water prices showed the following:
Bluff House: Gas $6.17, diesel $3.07, and water $.20.
Green Turtle Club: $Gas 3.98, $diesel 3.08, and water $.25.
Don’t just fuel – ask prices first!!
Just a relaxing afternoon watching several b oats coming in to anchor in advance of this next weather system. The forecast does not look good through Sunday – in fact Chris was forecasting sustained 25 kt winds on Sunday. Ohh well this is a great place to be “Stuck”.
Tonight is Barbecue Chicken night and some new rummy game with the Born to Cruise crew. Who says cruising is boring?!!
