We half drifted, half sailed down to Salt Pond yesterday. The advertised 10 knots of wind never showed and so we ended up spending 6 hours to sail the 15 miles down here. Pretty slow I know, but think of all the money we saved in fuel costs.
Anyhow, once inside the harbour, we anchored in the north end by ourselves well off the shoreline to avoid the bugs. The remainder of yesterday was spent working on boat projects and eating tuna.
Today, we upped anchor and motored over to the government dock. The mail boat came in late yesterday and we were hoping to score some fresh veggies at one of the two markets here. In addition, I hit the ESSO station for 5 gallons of dinosaur juice for a whopping $6.44 a gallon. Yikes!!!!
The market had a good selection and we managed to blow another thirty bucks on assorted greenery. Back on the mother ship, Amy put away our stuff while I mixed up some dinghy gas and then got in some quality time with my latest computer game, Orcs Must Die, Part 2. I assure you I was an orc killing machine for the remainder of the day.
Dinner was tuna tacos with all the trimmings, including a surprisingly good lime salsa that Amy made. Mind you it wasn't surprising that Amy made something good, rather that I ate something new that looked quite scary. Long times readers and my three friends will undoubtedly be amazed to hear that I tried and liked something new.
Post dinner we had the running of the weasels before retiring to our cabin for some reading by 8 pm. Amy fell asleep soon after, but I stayed up and finished the Divergent/Insurgent two book sci-fi before calling it a day at 12 pm. For the record, the books were good, but not great.
Ok, that's about it, remember be safe, it's dumb out there ....
