This will be my last post for this trip –
tomorrow we go to the marina dock to pack up the boat, and then on to the
hurricane hole to put Sea Change on a mooring for the season.
We’ve spent the last two very windy days in
one of our favorite harbors – Red Shanks. I’ve been waxing the chrome against
rust, wiping down all surfaces below decks with vinegar and water against
mildew, and generally cleaning up. My captain, meanwhile, has been busy with a
multitude of boat repairs (never-ending).
We made friends with an American couple
from South Carolina – Gary and Sharleen, on a Beneteau 37, and have had “sundowners”
(drinks at sunset) with them twice, at two different harbors. Lovely people …
it’s interesting how easy it is to make friends here – we all have so much in
common, and everyone has sailing stories to tell. It turns out that Sharleen
also paints in watercolor, and was able to give me some useful tips.
And so ends another wonderful stay in
Paradise … with its ups and downs, but mostly a positive experience.
See you back home very soon!
