It was nice to wake up without the alarm clock this morning. The night was calm and warm. This morning was quite overcast and on the cool side but at least we were in shorts and T-shirts!
After breakfast we made arrangements with Diana and Gilbert to take the dinghies to town and shop. We hit West Marine, a hardware store twice, a bike shop, another sailing store similar to West Marine (can't remember the name), had lunch at El Tamarindo, a Mexican restaurant, (excellent and inexpensive), the liquor store, the grocery store, a chart store and I am sure I left out one or two other stores! We shopped until we dropped.
The dinghy dock charged $10.00 to land your dingy but gave it back to you in food/beverages. Jorge and I ordered a shrimp dish to go as it was after 1700 when we got there.
I managed to buy a few items on my list for reprovisioning but will have to sit down and get serious about a list of things to buy. (Thanks for the advice about banks in the Bahamas and needing some cash Sue, we'll definitely keep that in mind!)
No pics today as I forgot my camera!
