The car and such
29 December 2009
We've been in Maho Bay, St. John for several days. After school we've taken the boat out to dive and snorkel and then return to Maho Bay mooring for the evening. Kris has made us amazing dinners on the boat. With nine folks to feed the meals have been more like feasts that have included shrimp, scallops w/ pasta, steaks on the bbq, etc.. K&C went to a Costco like store in St. Thomas and bought a major amount of food so we are well stocked. There is a small store here but it only has some basic supplies. There is also a restaurant which we went to on Christmas and we'll be going again tonight. To get to shore we take the dinghy and have to ride the waves to land. We have to plan on getting wet b/c you need to jump out in "shallow" water and then pull the boat on shore. Rodney has added wheels to our dinghy to make it easier to pull up. We have to tie the boat to a tree so the waves don't take our "car" back out to sea. To do email, I carry my computer in a neoprene case and a dry bag and then put in it in my backpack. Then I have to climb the 138 stairs to the little screened in room that has internet access. This is done barefoot (but not though the snow.) A day in the life....
