Life of Sailors!

Just wanted to let you know that it's not all "fun and games" living on a sailing vessel.  Typical day:  starts out with yoga or a walk and/or run, load up the dinghy with garbage for the drop off, grab recycle grocery bags for our trip to Eldon's (local market - not quite Publix, but close!), drop off food scraps at the Iguana Farm, tie up at the shrimp boat docks, walk to market, shop, bring everything back to boat, then find a place to put everything (my biggest challenge of the day!)!!! :)  Let's do some waxing, and we need to transfer the fuel.  Forgot the laundry ......we can do that tomorrow. Now we're hot, so jump off the stern for a dip in the Caribbean to cool off.  Now it must be time to read a book or play on the computer.  (did I tell you I'm addicted to Mahjong??)  Oh boy, now it's cocktail hour - oh, it's only 2:30?  Oh well.  Thinking about you!  Wish you were here!

Gasolina dispensed via garden hose and funnel from 1 gallon whiskey jugs.

Waterfront living in Oak Ridge Harbor, the Venice of the Caribbean.  Water taxis everywhere!

Sunset at Los Cayos Cochinos, great snorkeling in the fans garden next to the cliff on the right. 


Salva Vidas at Frenchy's island...................

We recently had a decadent day...... a local gal, Flaca, came to the boat and gave us both pedicures and I had my hair trimmed.  Cost - men's pedicure 400 lempiras, women's 350 lempiras, trim 100 lempiras.  Total 850 lempiras, or USD $41.50 plus tip.  Then we celebrated our re-newed feet with champagne!!!!
