TUESDAY, March 8
The last few days have been very windy and blustery...not so
much
The little kids were easy this morning, since they were
doing a commonwealth day, we coloured pictures of Canadian animals, which was
quite timely since they hadn't done that yet.
The Grade 9's never showed up because, according to the secretary, they
were studying for exams. I waited for 25 minutes. So I went to the Grade 4
class to meet that teacher, and then went to meet Rick at Red Boone. Quentin
showed up and told me I was missing the class, a bunch of them asked where I
was. Oh well...
We came back to the boat, and moved back over to the Island
side. Quentin went to shore to hang out with new boat kids and do whatever they
do...
WEDNESDAY, March 9
I don't remember... nothing special, I guess. We went over
to Amazing Grace so I could give Cheryl Stephane's motor cover. I can't fix the
sewing machine without completely dismantling it, so it would take forever to
get the motor cover fixed. Cheryl is into heavy-duty sewing, so she can finish
it for Stephane. We were there for a coupe of hours. Quentin was left on board to get homework done.
We spent all day around the boat, doing small jobs.
THURSDAY, March 10
We went over in the
morning to Kidd Bay, because Quentin had 'volunteered ' to help at the Music
Festival. We also took Yarika [Claire, Aaron, -kids; Steve and Melissa- mom
and dad] and TJ and John Cookie Monster kids over as they were
volunteering as well.
I went to St. Andrews school in the afternoon and taught
5-6. They sketched portraits of each other...I think the lessons are paying
off... they were remarkably good, most of them. One pair of boys that always
give me grief, were paired up, just because I figured it was better to condense
the chaos then spread it. Turns out they are twins and one of them is exceptional
as an artist. When I got to the Primary
school to talk to the teachers, he was there. Turns out, his Mom is the GT school principal! And they all look alike. Don't know why I
couldn't see that?!?
We came back over to the island because we were having
dinner on Jasmine City with Amazing Grace and Nauticuss. Angelica made a traditional Columbian stew and Stephane
caught and cleaned snails. Cheryl made a salad and I made strawberry
cheesecake. Great meal!! Quentin and Rick
tried the snails but didn't like them. The
stew was great!! I can't remember the Spanish name. I am going to help Angelica
with her English and she will teach me some Spanish.
SO, I will try to post some more pictures today. The winds are
calmer, the boat not bouncing so much. Maybe the internet will work!
If you haven't checked out the video yet, have a look: www.cruisesailboat.com. We look
great! ttyl
