You know we have been in a place too long when we start receiving junk mail addressed specifically to us at the marina. Yesterday, I checked the mailbox at the marina and found a piece of junk mail that was sent to us. Yep, it is time to move on! While Mary Margaret and I have only been here maybe a total of 6 weeks, the boat has been here since the end of October. That's 5 months tied up at a dock and that is just too long!! But alas, we will be here at least another two weeks as we sit out the end of cyclone season (it's official end is May 1st but we hope to get an early jump on it). Although there was a cyclone in Northern Australia just two weeks ago we are hoping that it will be the last one of the season for our area. However, a deep tropical depression is building near Fiji that is expected to develop into a cyclone so we will just wait and see how things develop along the eastern coast of Australia between now and the end of the month.

Today was Farmer's Market day. Thus, armed with lots of shopping bags, we spent the morning at the market getting various fresh fruits and vegetables. While I spent the rest of the day cleaning the outside of the boat, Mary Margaret spent her time making chutney and gazpacho from what she picked up at the market today. Both were delicious and they are the reason I don't mind trudging along with Mary Margaret to the market. I am always rewarded for schlepping the groceries around at the market with a lot of tasty treats to eat when we get back.
