Now the water won't seep out while the piggies are trying to drink it!
Love the duct tape!

Well
all the traveling is starting to catch up with us. We were very tired today and wanted to make
it a down day here on the boat. But!
Somehow or another I have misplaced my purse.
The only thing I can figure is I left it at the Yacht Club. So…..
We
made 4 gallons of water for the piggies, poured all the water we had left in
our 5 gallon jugs into our water tank, packed up the trash and headed into
town. It’ only $2 to fill up a 5-gallon
jug, which kind of evens itself out when it comes to us using engine hours, or
genny gas to run the watermaker here on board.
However, yesterday when we got rid of trash and it only cost $3.50 a
bag, today it was $7, same size bag, just a different person from the day
before!
Another
good example of how explicit you have to be when speaking to the
Bahamians. I walked into the bar and
there was another woman working. I told
her I was in here yesterday and wanted to know if anyone had turned into a
purse. She said, “no not to me.” I said maybe someone turned it into the other
woman, she said “I came on at 3 yesterday and no one turned one into me.” That was the end of the story for her. I thought “OK what question am I not asking
directly?” So I said “do you have a lost and found?” She didn’t answer me but I could tell by the
way she looked at me that they did. I asked if there was someone else there
that could look for me. She just kind of
looked disturbed and said “wait a minute.”
Then we went to a closet not 5 feet away and there was my purse hanging
in it! So had I not pursued with my
questioning, it would still be there.
Gotta make sure you are specific with your words here!
I
tried to get back on the internet today, it was free on Christmas; but today it
is not. I wasn’t going to be on land
long enough to do the blog so we are going to wait another day or two. Hopefully when I purchase it I will have
enough data time to do everything I want.
I’m suspecting not.
We
ran into Henry and Anna again at the bar.
They’re friends that were supposed to come in by boat had to
cancel. It was a brand new 65’ sport
fish. They filled it with water in the
states before crossing and overfilled the tank.
The water ended up going in between the ceilings and shorted out all of
the electricity. Bummer! So Henry and Anna paid $500 to spend the
night! Yikes! They were debating to spend another day or
not or just get another plane back to Miami.
That’s where they live.
We
decided to walk the town since we were there.
We found a grocery store, laundromat that sells wholesale liquor, and
took a lot of good photos. By the time
we got back to the boat it was starting to drizzle and the sun was going down,
so we never made it over to piggy’s.
Tomorrow we will!
