1/27-1/28 – We spent a little time on Thursday out in the Sound in the dinghy trying our luck at fishing. Linda watched through the “look bucket” letting the guys know when she saw fish. Gerry caught a couple, saved one for bait and let the other one go. After that adventure we walked over to the Grand Isle Resort for a late lunch. The evening was spent doing laundry and working on routes.
On Friday we washed down the boat. It hadn’t had a fresh water bath since Nassau – well, it’s actually seen a little rain in a couple of places, but not combined with a scrub brush. We also did one last load of laundry, some really quick provisioning, one last walk on the beach and nice long showers. We leave tomorrow, so no more long leisurely showers. It will be nice to get underway. We’ve been at the dock for 10 days – about 7 days too many.

Our dock neighbors are a couple on a sailboat from Annapolis,
Larry and Bev. The wind instrument wasn't working, so Bev
made a trip up the mast to retreive it so Larry could put in a new chip.
This is the start of her trip. |

At the top! Back in the days when we were sailboaters,
Gerry always went up the mast while Linda handled the
winching chores to get him there. |

While out in the dinghy we counted around 20 sailboats going by,
presumably on their way to George Town. |

Michael was either very bored while Jana was gone, or he is
trying to make major "brownie points". Here he is trying
to decide if the sheets have a right or wrong side.
