Day of Leisure

 We had a nice leisurely Sunday morning breakfast, got cleaned up and took the dinghy into to town. This is a fun place, the walking streets, shopping and lots of places offering yummy carbs.  The fudge place was our first stop, white chocolate coconut, sea salt chocolate and white chocolate with a caramel swirl.  Next was the popsicles store. David was the winner with pineapple mango, my banana coconut came in a far second.  Then we saw the French crepe place so we had an old fart early bird special dinner at 5pm. 1 had a caprese crepe and David had the chicken cordon bleu. We ate in this little courtyard that had twinkle lights, wrought iron tables for two and looked like the Amazon forest, not sure what was better, the crepes or the ambiance. We anticipated the storm blowing in so off we went, back to the boat.  I got a dinghy driving lesson, it’s more of a pointing lesson as the steering is somewhat vague.  As we passed a sailboater, he asked me in jest if we had had too much wine.  I guess my path was a little Family Circle-ish.  We laughed, no just a learner’s permit.  We began the task of stowing the boat for tomorrow’s offshore run into the Atlantic Ocean. You have to prepare for less calm waters than ICW type seas. One never knows how big the waves or swell will really be or how the wind will blow either until you actually get there.  It’s best to be prepared rather than sweeping up glass and potting soil after the fact.
