We’re going to need a lot of drying out, if the sun
ever appears again! Day after day of rain – today quite heavy – and we’re
occupying ourselves with indoor jobs (cozy, actually). It looks like cleaning
the bilge might fall to me, while Jeff is going to brave the deep blue to clean
the underside of the boat. He won’t notice the rain down there 😊.
We have
been snatching between-rainstorm moments for some fun – yesterday we dinghied
to our favourite Volleyball Beach for a “kosher” pig roast lunch and feeding
the sting rays who come up to us like pet cats (they know which side their
conch guts are buttered on). Two days ago we hiked over the hill to the
gorgeous ocean beach, with its miles of empty, powdery sand and dramatically
crashing waves. We never tire of this sight.
Meanwhile,
indoors, I’m practicing my uke and choir music, baking, making Chanukah latkes,
painting (sample below), writing blog posts, reading, etc. etc. Jeff has a
never-ending list of boat jobs he works on when he’s not resting.
Tomorrow we’ll
head back to George Town, now that the wind has calmed, to re-provision and prepare for the upcoming celebrations – Chanukah (as of last night), our 36th
anniversary (tomorrow night) and a Christmas day pot-luck on the beach, weather
permitting. It could be worse …. Happy holidays, everyone – whatever you’re
celebrating in this season of lights.
