Funny how life slows down on the water when you are dependant on wind to get you places, and the weather determines whether you go, or stay put. When you have no car getting groceries is a walk to, carry from, and walk back.

Makes you think twice twice about the need and necessity of what you're buying.

Funny how life slows down even more when there are no phones ringing, or life-a-calling. Well, life does call, but gets answered from a much more calm and grounded place, and that's always nice. Which makes me wonder, had I been more calm and less rushed, would I have noticed the expiry date on the brand new (very expensive) bottle of sun tan lotion I had bought just before our trip ? And why do stores sell things "on sale" that are expired.
Consumerism and all about the money ?

So, there's not much to report as one waffles down the river, the gentle breeze barely pushing us along at 2 knots (really we don't have to be anywhere do we ?)..., and listening the cha-ching of the dollars spent in the gas-guzzling, noisy, smelly, speedboats, zoom-zooming past us. Now that's a rude judgement call on my part and not something I wish to yack about in my blog, but rather a simple reflection on the need for speed in our society and how that need for speed has us missing something.

We anchored on the outskirts of the LaHave Marina, and I jumped in for a refreshing swim. Dave was too chicken !

Supper was hot chicken sandwiches with fresh green beans and carrots.

A little-after-supper dinghy ride and a game of cards... nice that we've earned the luxury of doing nothing :)
