Rainy day in paradise
01 August 2023
Eric
The rain and wind came in overnight so we spent today hunkered down on
the boat. Katy baked a Coconut Lime Drizzle Cake for a drizzly day. We
are following the hobbit example of plenty of meals while mixing in a
Swedish tradition. We had breakfast, then Fika for tne Swedes
(elevensies for hobbits), lunch, sundowners and are looking forward to
dinner, with cake for dessert. Itâs nice to have crew aboard that enjoy
cooking, and are good at it. Todayâs food was sponsored by the shape
âTriangleâ, and all the food has been in that shape (quesadilla
sections, watermelon sectionsâ¦)
We broke up the day with a game called âVoyagersâ. Itâs basically
trivial pursuit with questions about people, places and things organized
by continent. It generated some controversy: are the British Isles in
Europe, and if not, where? Is the Middle East in Asia or Africa? We also
recognized some outdated info (the game was published in 1996).
Katy is working on dinner prep, Mike is reading, Karen coloring and Iâm
blogging. The engine is running recharging the batteries (no solar
influx today) and weâre making (desalinating) water. Involved cooking
requires more fresh water for dishwashing. Weâre glad to make the
tradeoff of using more fresh water since we have a water maker
(desalinator) and weâre surrounded by salt water.
