Getting bored
25 March 2014 | Tenacatita
I am bored out of my mind. It is too quiet. Roxie and I went to shore and visited with Chris from Legacy and his two dogs for a few minutes. There are only 7 boats in Tenacatita right now and I don't know any of them except Legacy and they are leaving in the morning. I am heading out in the morning. I need contact with the outside world. Uggg!
It was quite foggy this morning. That is a sight I am not used to. I couldn't even see the resort that is here. I have pictures and it makes me think of San Francisico. No surprise, the fog burned off and now at 1:00 it is humid but luck is with us and there is a slight breeze. I washed off the solar panels again last night and already I am at 13 ½ volts. I have one tonic water and one diet coke left. It is a good thing I have orange juice and coconut rum for this evening. I don't bother cooking and the good thing about not having junk food onboard is you can't snack out of boredom.
The water has been too murky to snorkel but yesterday it seemed like it might be clearing. After the sun lowers a bit Roxie and I are going to paddle around the rocky edges.
I do miss Ed. Questions come up like, "Does it save much power on my computer battery if the screen isn't on bright?" Not urgent but it highlights that no one around. This is all very interesting. I have gone camping and hiking alone but it was active, here at anchor my chores are minimal like shake out the rugs and sweep the floor. No dishes to wash because if you don't cook then one cereal bowl and spoon doesn't add up to doing dishes.
I really 'missed' Ed last night
It is not all bad being by yourself but I need a TV or music or internet or something at least every other day if there is no one to play a game with or talk to or just breathe the same air.
No cockroaches spotted today or last night. Creepy little things.
I am definitely more comfortable about the boat overall. Last night I was watching the sunset with my vodka tonic in hand and got to thinking I am on the boat all alone and off the freaking coast of Mexico. That is pretty damn cool. Who would have thought? I have to kayak to shore soon and empty the garbage while I have a place to take it. I guess I am feeling better being able to write and complain a little. Tomorrow will be better. I will be able to make some phone calls. Woohoo!
