GH, Windy

The marina is now full to capacity. It is windy today and the next couple days are suppose to be blowing close to 30 knots. Everyone is looking to hide out somewhere. There are 15 boats anchored in the outer harbor waiting out the blow.

I ride a bike to the two stores in Bullocks Harbour. Still no eggs. The mailboat did not come in last week, but it is in this morning, I find it unloading. I head back to A&L Grocery in the afternoon after they receive their shipments and start stacking their shelves.  I get some lettuce, oranges, blueberrys, bananas, cookies and eggs. Signed up to tonight's BBQ. Canceled plans to go to Shark Creek again way to windy to get there on the open water. Linda orders eggs from Freddy one of the staff members here at Great Harbour. He and his wife raise chickens.

 

Mail Boat is in !

 

Everyone's stuff is being unloaded, busy

 

I notice a familiar boat “Departure” down on the other end of the marina. We met Marketta and Tom on our second trip south. They are from Dillon Colorado and normally launch their boat in early February and head to the Bahamas. The year we met them they had spent the summer in New England on their boat and were traveling down the ICW. I think we first met them in the Dismal Swamp. I stay in touch with Marketta occasionally. We see them walking by and Marketta recognizes us and we have a long conversation catching up. They will be heading to Georgetown, so will probably see them again in a month or so.

Today being Friday, it’s BBQ night. With the marina packed there are allot of boaters taking advantage of not having to cook tonight. Linda and Karen complaint everything is too spicy, not so much for me.

Because of the wind, bugs are not a problem so we eat our dinner at the Pavilion with all the other cruisers. Very loud, hard to carry on a conversation with all the people there.
