Jan 7-9 So much fun, so little time!

Jan 7 Thursday

We went to the Driftwood for lunch and then the Rake 'n Scrape for supper.  The BBQ was awesome, but we didn't stay long. Rashad was there [remember the kid from last spring that danced up a storm?] We talked but I wasn't in the mood to dance.

Sue and Les were pretty tired: they had been up since 5 am so we took them back to their "room" [what an amazing suite!!] and went back to the boat. [Late. After boater's midnight [9:00 p.m.]

Jan 8 Friday

In the morning Sue and I took the truck to Prime Island Meats and Rick and Les went to the boat to do some 'stuff'.   Sue got shotgun on the way out but we had to sit in the back for the return trip. When we walked in the door, Jeff Krampien was standing at the till. He is staying at Hooper's Bay. We can take the big boat up there to see him next week.

We went to a little out-of-the-way place in the back of a Beauty Shop for lunch and had great burgers and fries.

 In the afternoon we went down to Sand Dollar and she learned to snorkel!!! She's a natural. We came back to the boat and had chicken and salad for supper, before they went 'home'

Jan 9 Saturday

This morning Stephane stopped for coffee and invited us all to his boat for supper.  

Beguiler is here! We will get together in a couple of days after they get organized. Rob said they had a long trip!

We took the big boat over to Chat 'n Chill and hiked over to the ocean side to see the rollers. The surf was so wild that we couldn't swim. I tried and was rolled up the beach and scooped a bucket of sand into my bathing suit.  We went back to Chat 'chill and introduced Sue & Les to the rays feeding at the conch salad hut, then we watched Stephane play volley ball. I didn't try today.... maybe tomorrow.

Stephane suggested we take the big boats back to Kidd Bay so we could relax and not worry about moving around after dark. He pushed a couple of buttons and was well on his way before we got the anchor up.

Sue and Les are hooked! A 45-foot Lagoon!  He cooked Thai curried chicken, rice and baby potatoes and we brought salad, and cheese and crackers. He is a great cook!  It was fantastic. He is so knowledgeable and fun to talk to and we had a great evening.

Tomorrow we will go over to the beach to hear Cordell's talk, and then play it by ear. Someone found the motor that Jasmine City lost so we might try to help get it out of the harbour. We also might go catch those lion fish. We'll have to figure out how to cook them.  ttyl
