Delayed Visit
07 March 2009 | Sapodilla Bay - Provo
March 7
Forgot to mention, Liz will wait to fly down until more compatible location. Turks and Caicos has some appeal, but not really sun and fun capitol of the Caribbean. Maybe San Juan.
Spent early morning getting $75 cruising permit to extend visit past seven days - still need immigration on Tuesday. Tried to make grocery run with 4 other marketeers at 1000, but rain would have soaked three of us in back of marina pickup which barely runs, has no rear window or wipers. Made it at 1030 following squall. Do eggplants require refrigeration?
After morning errands, still couldn't varnish for wind and rain, so practiced some horizontal thinking. When sky cleared, decided to ignore wind and got caprail done in time to have sundowners with dock denizens at 1730. Expect to finish hatches, handrails and eyebrow trim, the easy part, tomorrow as soon as weather allows. Hope to bid a fond farewell to South Side Marina Monday and get back to a less productive, more fun, form of cruising.
Liz provides thought for today:
