Hair Cut Day!

05 December 2017 | George Town, Grand Cayman

By the time we woke up at 7, Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas and Norwegian's Escape were already in port. Disney Fantasy and MSC Divina would join them. After breakfast we headed to shore to give back the keys to the rental car, as we had parked it in their lot. We walked around the downtown area. Mark got his hair cut. It turned out to be a lengthy process but looks great. Located the library and found out their hours and wifi availability. Stopped at a few shops and then went back to the boat. Mark used Gorilla tape to cover the inside of the dinghy where the material is worn from rubbing on the hoisting lines. Mark reminds me that we had all three meals onboard today. Dinner is actually partly with the vegetables leftover from yesterday's lunch. We headed back to town and walked back to the library. Spent a couple 3 hours catching up on emails and some calls and mostly doing research on Panama, there wifi is the best we have seen down here. Mark did check the forecast for this weekend. Grand Cayman is expecting winds 32-35 from the north. Since there is no protection here, we will be moving to the North Sound. Also, we need to top up our diesel fuel, and there are several marinas there that can do it. We still need to return to this location for our check out and to get our spear gun back. It was a lovely quiet day. We got a lot of exercise walking around. It's right around sunset and the Disney ship just left.

About:
We are both computer folks that were live aboard cruisers back in the 90s. We settled in Jacksonville Florida after escaping the great white north and cruising the Bahamas, T&C, DR and points south down to Trinidad. [...]
Extra: Charabia is a French slang word for nonsense or gibberish. It derives from Arabic "sharab" which means alcohol.When you drink (too much) alcohol, you start talking Charabia. The original owners named her and Mark liked the name so it stuck.
