We’re starting to feel like we’re on vacation now – most
boat parts are working, the cleaning is done, and we celebrated Christmas on
the beach with a pot-luck lunch produced by about 150 sailors. Unfortunately
all the work of the last two weeks has taken its toll on Jeff, who had to spend
most of Christmas day in bed, resting.
Yesterday, I went to the beach, while Jeff puttered on the
boat. I started with a yoga class on the sand – amazing to lie there listening
to the surf and staring up at the blue sky and the Casuera trees, swaying in
the wind. That was followed by some watercolour painting and a fresh conch
salad for lunch. Then I took a ukulele class with fellow sailors, taught by one
of us – such fun! Back to the big boat for tea and a late afternoon snooze,
followed by a wonderful bar-b-que dinner (after three seasons, our bar-b-que
finally works again). It doesn’t get much better than this!
It looks like we won’t be sailing for a few days, as our
autopilot needs attention, and one of our fellow sailors offered to come by to
consult today. He used to work for the company that makes the unit, so he just might
know what he’s doing! Meanwhile, we’ll continue to enjoy this beautiful harbour
and all the “adult Summer camp” activities with our fellow cruisers. Someday soon, I hope, we’ll be moving on North to Spanish Wells
to get our boat bottom cleaned. Then we'll have some sailing adventures to report :).
