Tuesday Nov 17
For some reason this date seems significant to me;
however I cannot find it. So, if it's someone's birthday I have forgotten,
please accept my apology. The brain is turning to mush and I don't know how to
stop it. Maybe it's this machine...we rely on them so much we let them take
over our thinking too much, although Rick is just as bad and he doesn't even
use it...so much for that theory. And I refuse to accept the "getting
old" excuse.
We sat down this morning and said, "Oh, we should
look that up before we leave."
Great, but what ???Neither of us could remember this afternoon what the
great idea was this morning. Scary.
So drive is done and we are ready to launch, except
that the dinghy motor is not ready and we can't leave without it. We could go
into the water and anchor out in the ICW [remember that? Inter Coastal Waterway? Been so long I had to think about it too!] But we still need to be able to get to shore
so we need the dinghy motor!
There is really nothing going on here until we get
wet. The weather sucks... it goes from
cloudy and rainy to stinking hot and steamy. The winds are on shore and gusty.
It's hard to tell what the weather is really like out there. AHA !! I
remembered!!!! I'm supposed to look up passage weather for the next 7 days !!!
We watch the news every morning and its different
here. We are seeing the world through American eyes, and I am becoming
increasingly aware that we are foreigners. There is no sense of danger but as
the threat to this country increases, I become more aware of the fact that we
are "non-belongers". It's also
very hard to separate from world events and ignore what is happening.
Well, it's time to go find Quentin. He is parked in
the Canadian history section of the library...I think. At least that's where he
SAID he was going. I need to get water and something for supper. Joseph is on
his way over to talk to the Marina mechanic [owner]...needs motor help. I hope it's nothing serious!!
Will be back when something positive occurs! Oh, but
they stuck another boat into the gap so we have a baffle against the trains
again...not very effective but the noise will bounce a little. Speaking of
bounce, I need to do laundry too! ttyl
