Our first guests for the year just left and took my wife with them! We had a really nice time with our friends here on SYL. Linda went home to be with Erin in her last trimester of pregnancy so I’m batching it for a couple days before a friend of mine flys in for a week. We don’t have any special plans…. Just to sail around, look at the pretty water and do some snorkeling.
Yeah I miss my wife, but the big thing is I miss my boat gourmet cook! Today for lunch I had a ham sandwich, this evening I had a spicy tai tuna fish sandwich. Tomorrow I’m going for some of the taco soup Linda left in the refrigerator so I do have some good stuff for a few days anyway.
Going from me and 4 women on the boat to only me is a big change….. I don’t know what to do with myself. The sun just set so it’s almost bed time…..
Tomorrow I have some boat chores I want to accomplish before Tom gets here so that will occupy some of my time.. and I have pick up my laundry so I guess I do have an agenda of sorts. Maybe I’ll pick up some Chinese food while I’m in town.
The weather looks good for the next week or so, I guess we had one dreary day while the first bunch was here but everybody just pulled out a book and chilled the day it rained. Tonight I’ll have 12 to 15 knot winds so it will be pleasant sleeping under the open hatch.
We had a major malfunction last week, my little Honda 2000 generator broke. It has fire and it has gas but it has little to no compression. I had a feeling this particular generator wasn’t right from day one, but it was new so we trusted the name. It’s still in warranty but how in the world can I get it serviced out here…. The answer is I can’t. I’ll have it fixed when I get home but I had to buy another generator to get me there….. Boat stuff…. always something happening you don’t expect.
Luckily a good friend of ours has a boat moored here in GT so they let me borrow theirs until mine comes in next week. I’ve only had to run it once, but I expect I’ll charge up again in the morning.
Well, it’s after 8pm so it’s legal to go lay down below…lol. Happy travels to my wife and our good friends, thanks Michael for your help getting the car home! Rusty
