It took us 5 hours to get to Jolly Harbour from Matsarrat. We checked into customs, immigration and port authority. Then we took the dinghy to the grocery store. We have been craving a nice juicy homemade hamburger, fries and a beer. As it turns out, we have not had on the boat for a week..... BEER! I know this terrible and a first on Kokomo. Since we left Florida, we haven't needed to buy beer. So here in Antigua, Denny check the price of a case of Carib, the local beer and it was $32 US for cans, but it is 11oz. which is less than a US beer can. But we were out, so we bought a case along with a few other items. Most of the grocery items were expensive. We spent $150 for just a few items. This is almost half our normal expense for food and it's just the beginning of the month! But the best thing is we will be enjoying a tasty BBQ hamburger on Kokomo!
After ten years of planning a trip around the world, we have given up our life on land to head to bluer pastures with the hopes of staying young as long as possible. Our mission is to have fun while moving about the earth. [...]When we finally return to dry land for good, we hope to have seen most of the worlds shore line and experienced things that can only be experienced at 5 knots Of course if we find a place we like and stay there for an extended time, that's ok too.
We have two boys and two grandson's and several friends and family of all ages. Our hope is that those we know will decide to spend some time with us. Life is enjoyed most when you share it with those your closest to.
