We dashed out early this morning to run to the grocery and TJ Max and the Dive shop this morning. There is a weak cold front with rain in it coming through today. Would like to have those chores finished before the rain.
The dive shop is called the Deep Six and is a lot of fun. In addition to the dive stuff they have a huge assortment of beach wear - more beach footwear than anyplace I've seen. TJ MAX is just TJ MAX but what strikes you if you sit outside and wait on the wife to shop is all the people - woman - who bring back all the returns. Their bags have lots of stuff in them not a single item. One wonders whether they just wear stuff one time and return or really find that much defective or are such poor shoppers to always buy the wrong size. Returns of good are unheard of in the Bahamas. It is just not done or accepted. You buy it - you bought it.
Loaded up on more comfort foods at the grocery that you can't buy in the Bahamas. WE certainly don't need it and we have both lost some weight without it and should probably just not eat it - but we do. Ummmm good.
Europeans and Canadians included have a saying that it is always easy to spot the Americans in a crowd of foreigners --- they have the widest rear ends!
The rest of the afternoon was spent puttering on the boat and watching a steady parade of cruisers coming in - most returning from the Bahamas.
We visited with Ian and Sharon from Celtic Cross and had a great time.
The NOAA weather forecast was full of doom and gloom - small tornadoes possible, wind gusts to 40kts, torrential rain, and flooding. None if it happened. Just a short 5-minute lightning storm a little rain and no big wind gusts. Had to run the diesel generator to charge batteries since the solar panel and wind generator had such weak output.
