Today we had another lazy morning. I'm beginning to really enjoy this lifestyle! After lunch we went into Grand Anse to find a computer store so we could print our e-tickets. Success! We wandered around Grand Anse with no particular plan in mind, doing a bit of window shopping, no buying.

My beef eating Argentine husband never ceases to amaze me. In the dinghy, on the way back to CS'ta Time, Jorge suggests stopping by a local fishing boat with two guys in it to see what they caught. After checking out their fish and paying a ridiculously low price per pound, (almost making us feel guilty but that was their asking price, no negotiating) we headed back to the boat with an extremely fresh red snapper for supper. After some olive oil, some spices and being cooked on the BBQ we had an exceptionally good dinner! Next time we'll buy two as one (just over a pound) wasn't enough.

Shortly after breakfast while enjoying my tea in the cockpit, a local approached in his small boat which was loaded with fresh fruits and veggies. We purchased some veggies and two mangoes again at a ridiculously low price. "Junior" also threw in a free papaya which he said would be ripe in a day or two. We read the rest of the morning.

After lunch we decided to go into St. George's just to wander through town, stopping in a few shops and making small talk with the local shop owners.

Hey Roy (Barrie Bob Cat), here's your competition in Grenada!

Dinner and the evening were uneventful, reading again.

Okay so we are turning into book worms! We spent all morning reading. It felt really good not having to worry about the weather, winds, waves, travelling, etc. And we ask each other "what do you want to do today?"

After lunch and Junior's wonderfully sweet mangoes for dessert, we decided to take the bus and go to True Blue Bay. Of course our first stop was at Budget Marina. We didn't buy anything but needed to check it out. Right beside Budget Marina was Spice Island Boatyard. Jorge was asking prices, timing, etc. for pulling the boat out of the water and painting the bottom. Those three coats of antifouling are fading fast! We then wandered down the road towards the water, checking out some local shops and the True Blue Marina.

We travelled off and on from Sandy Hook, NY to George Town, Bahamas with Dave and Rose who were aboard a Catalina 42 named Cloud 9.

We caught the bus back to St. George's and decided to grab a burger at the yacht club and do internet stuff before heading back to the boat for the night.
