January 29
Busy Day!! Moved the boat
over to Stocking Island in the morning...ugh... really rolly over there so we
moved back in the afternoon.
We had a Regatta meeting
and got lots more volunteers, so today I need to get the work done for Jeanne
and we can post the schedule and information.
After Cordell gave his
talk to the boaters, we sat down and had an in-depth conversation.
Met an artist on Magic
Dolphin...not your Magic Dolphin, Quentin, and he is working with the kids in
St. Andrews teaching them to paint coconuts. We spent a long time talking about
art, and his objectives.
We came back to the Kidd Cove
side and 'parked' then went over to meet Blue Heavens. We went with them to the
Trivia night at St.Francis...Gordon's really smart! And we won!!!Woo-hoo!
In the middle of the
night the wind came up and the next "norther" is blowing through now.
We checked the instruments around 4 am. I am neurotic about dragging!
This morning the boat
next to us, Pearl, the British trawler, not the sailboat Pearl, reported that
they had rescued a dinghy off the shore...ours!!! Crap! The rope frayed through
overnight and we lost it this morning! It was there when we looked out at 4 am,
but when I went out to turn on the radio, I was so focussed on Barabas Rock
behind us that I never noticed the dinghy was gone!!
They brought it back and
it is fine. Rick started it and pumped it out, and up. Still haven't found the
leak, but as long as we have the pump with us, we're good!
One more chapter in the "Book
of Stupid"...
