January 15, 2009 Georgetown, Great Ex It was calm when we got up for the weather forecast at 6:30. So after coffee and something to eat we took advantage of the lack of waves and headed to town to check things out. Our first stop was the city dock where there should have been a dumpster. There were three ships there unloading and things were chaotic with high-lows running around and folks in cars and trucks waiting for their stuff. The dumpster was not where it was last year so we continued under the bridge to the dinghy dock.
Our first stop was the pet store where we threw away 15 on a weeks worth of wi-fi that we can't use. Last year we could pick up the signal but this year we are having difficulty. Then we went to a tiny little hardware store where I picked up a couple of fishing lures, a new point for my spear and a new rubber band .also for my spear. Then we were off to the grocery to pick up some vegetables and a few other items.
I had brought along some water containers, but with the garbage still in the dinghy as well as our groceries, there wasn't room. On our way back to the boat we did find the dumpster and deposited our trash. It was on one of the docks but on our first trip, had been hidden by a truck.
After some lunch my plan was to head back to town for fuel. We were 10 gallons low on diesel so I emptied two of our jerry cans into the tank.topping it off. Then I filled our two 2.5 gal. gas containers with gasoline from one of our jerry cans. When we head down to the Jumentos we will need all the gasoline we can carry for both the Honda and the outboard. By filling the smaller tanks we will be able to carry 15 gallons.
I spent an hour looking at charts and while Kathy did the dished and defrosted the freezer. At 2:30 we went in to the beach at the Chat and Chill and sat in the shade most of the afternoon watching volley ball. We had a conch salad and hung out with friends..
We grilled some steaks for dinner and listened to the Northwestern - Purdue game.
