Waiting for the fridge...
28 June 2011 | Winthrop Harbor
Great friends have celebrated our departure, a beautiful compass rose quilt, clever cakes- sailboats, buoys - sharks- life preservers, provided great company and delivery of our fatty knees dinghy (Dimples) to our harbor , included a facial prior to departure... fond farewells and yet here we are .
Friends at J dock are wondering if we are really going to leave. It feels a little like your ninth month of pregnancy ... when interested friends ask "when are you going to have that baby"!! Our baby is currently... refrigeration. Wiley kept dithering about whether or not we should have (or should spend money on) refrigeration - after all couldn't we just get ice along the way.
However, St. Merry - as his old law firm used to call me - was not so saintly and demanded to be able to keep food that would keep food poisoning at bay. So, we are waiting for the arrival and installation of refrigeration. We will keep you posted but hope that we will be leaving around the 4th of July - if not before otherwise Wiley's new name will be the "iceman".
