the wind kept their strength all night and our wind generator was producing more power than we need
Janice and Cam, Te Amor (Nova Scotia) came by to tell us of the boaters breakfast on Xmas
Eve morning at Green Turtle Club and a pot luck at Sundowners in New Plymouth on Christmas Day. This all sounds good to us.
Janine, Joe and I went to shore to do laundry, a wash and dry is $10
we got to do wifi and Janine and I lucked out, the ladies room to the showers was open. (boaters are not allowed to use the showers, and we can't even pay to use them).
Our dinghy is falling us, we had everything fixed in the US, but from packing and folding it on the deck for the crossing it has opened more seams .. Joe and I worked all afternoon G-Flexing every seam
Snowbird borrowed our motor and went to New Plymouth to hopefully do banking. The banks here are only open one day a week and Monday is not the day … but because of the holidays this week it was open. They also reported that the grocery store shelves where quite bare, but a boat is arriving tomorrow, so we might get some fresh produce before Xmas .. view of the mangroves at low tide
Tuesday morning Joe and I took Dave's dinghy and our motor and went to New Plymouth, for some supplies … and yes the streets are this empty
on the way we stopped into Abaco Yacht Services, to get prices on hauling and storing the boat in their hurricane protected boat yard … there is a long waiting list, so we will check back in with them on April to see if it is even possible …
New Plymouth all decorated for Christmas, and the streets are empty … we found out that they
don't celebrate Boxing Day
the Olde Jail
lots of chickens running around
some fresh produce arriving
in the afternoon we walked another beach
Merry Christmas Owen Sound, Canada
a lot of the roads here are narrow and full of potholes … lots of vehicles experience flat tires
Is What It Is Lane
Otto and Pauline Visar, we stapled the Canadian Dollar bill you gave us with Modaki and our friends
Dave and Janine's .. Snowbird name and year on it .. thanks again
making a Christmas garland with the found objects from our walk
one area we walked had about 30 sea ferns washed ashore, here are some, we also found my first of the year Sea Bean from Africa, and above that a green Xmas Ball, (no kidding), and brain coral
avocado for $3.25 and cucumber $2.75 .. I have everything now for the California Rolls
that Joe and I will make for the Boaters Pot Luck on Christmas day, in New Plymouth
I made stove top scalloped potatoes with peas and canned pulled port, from The Boat Galley Cookbook
it was so good
