Today we kept plugging along to get the boat ready for our guests who come next week. We just do a little bit at a time. That way we don’t exhaust ourselves and we get to enjoy the little side plays that are always going on onshore. Mary Margaret cleaned the two guest bathrooms while I put the guest suite back together after taking it apart to run the new starter batteries charging wiring yesterday. Once the suite was put back, I then made the bed.

I then ran to the electrician’s shop to pay my bill. When the receptionist gave it to me I noticed that it was in error. She had only charged me 0.5 hours of the electrician’s time when it should have been 5 hours. I spotted the error and had her correct it. It always hurts a bit to ask to be charged more for something but he did a good job and should receive his correct compensation for his job.

I then went over to the sail loft and paid for and picked up our head sail. When I returned to Leu Cat with the sail it was too windy to try to install and raise it so Mary Margaret and I waited until the end of the day to do that. By then the winds had dropped and hauling it up the head shroud and the furling foil was easy. Soon it was up and furled.

While we waited for the winds to ease before picking up the sail, Mary Margaret and I went ashore and wandered around the various little stalls that get set up every Wednesday and Saturday. These are veggie and fruit stalls where the vendors sell their local produce. It is always fun to go to each stall and meet with and talk to the ladies that are selling their produce. Mary Margaret always goes to each stall and buys a little from each. She likes to make sure she buys a little something from each one instead of just loading up from one stall.

We ended our day by enjoying the local pizza that I got as take out. It was delicious.

The photo for this blog is of the veggie and fruit skiff that came up to us each day while we were at anchor in Rodney Bay. As you can see, his skiff is covered with tons of flags representing different counties. What a hoot!
