What did we all do before internet and Facebook? We did not have internet for almost three days. I must confess that we could access the net on my iPad but on it I can mainly read because I find it hard to negotiate around on the iPad. Rusty went into town on the Monday after Easter and the town was closed up tight. Someone told him that everything is closed the day after a holiday….good to know. We have been without milk, eggs and bread for several days. I didn’t realize how important those items were if you wanted breakfast. I tried graham crackers and peanut butter………nope, then graham crackers and cream cheese which was ok by be but a negative for Rusty. Finally I have resorted to protein bars and coffee. Not very satisfactory.
Today being Tuesday after Easter, Rusty was able to go into town and get our laundry……….$56.00…….I know, I know…….but I really, really HATE laundramats. Even when we were at the RV “resort” which had a nice laundry room, I would wait and wash when we went to the lake. I don’t mind doing laundry at home but doing it all at once, hauling it around………it was worth $56.00. In my defense, over half of the laundry was laundry that was already onboard when I got on SYL. Most of it is towels, sheets etc. I have been keeping a budget since we got onboard. Once you get here you really don’t spend much money even with cokes $3.50 each. I now have milk, eggs and bread………Yeah!
The weather yesterday was very, very windy with sustained winds around 20 knots with knots probably approaching 40 knots. Needless to say I stayed onboard. Rusty made that run into town and went over to the dock where they were unloading some of the boats for the Regatta and help bring one of them around.
It was so rough I couldn’t get in the water which I like to do everyday. Today the water is still unsettled but I imagine I will get off the back of the boat. Rusty has a water hammock installed on the back of the boat so I get my water saddle and bob around and do a little water aerobics. Rusty is reading a lot but tomorrow the races start. We are hoping we are in a good spot in Kid Cove to see the races. I am sure Rusty will get in his dinghy and follow the activities.
Sea Yawl Later!!
