Day 158, Wednesday November 27

Well lots of rain and wind today.  Another cold front.  Everything on the boat is wet and stinky.  We do a load of laundry just so we can get everything dry.  Julie puts on her bathing suit in the rain and wind and scrub some of the hull staining that the scupper drains have caused.  At the same time the rust on the stainless that is relentless is tackled.  The salt water if very hard on the boat and we need to constantly be cleaning and treating the stainless.  The air is warm so it is an enjoyable job doing the cleaning.  Dawson is stuck inside defrosting the freezer with the blowdryer.  The pink and blue jobs have been exchanged!

We need to get out and get some exercise so between rainfalls, we head over to Bluff House to visit Rosemary and John.  We spend a happy hour with them before walking back to Green Turtle.  It is a lovely walk with a few hills and we have timed the rain perfectly.  It only rained while we were visiting on the boat.  As we departed Bluff House Julie saw a nurse shark along the docks.  Only about 3 feet long and not very scary looking at all.

Beautiful flowers along the way

Back at the boat we cleaned up as we had dinner plans with Blue Moon and Cool Running and Catherine and the Sharpes as well as Steve and Pat were meeting up for the live band.  The band is called Gully Roosters and is local.  The band was fun and it was a great people watching experience as many of the dancers were here for their 1 week holiday and letting loose.  What happens on the island stays on the island.

Cheers

Julie and Dawson
