Leverick Bay to Cane Garden Bay

Mike’s new anchor bridle is now finished and looks very posh so he fits it this morning.  After a spot of shopping (which we are able to remember doing this time!), we wander up to say goodbye to Monica, Nick, Kim and Rick, although Kim and Rick will be joining us in Cane Garden Bay tomorrow.

After lunch, we eventually get ourselves together enough to head out.  In the marina it had been hot and muggy, but once under sail, we have a good breeze and it is much more comfortable.

I take a look in the fridge and inspect its meagre fresh contents.  What can I do with carrots and an onion?  After scratching my head a little I decide on spicy carrot soup, and find a jar of strange looking beans in the cupboard to add it it.  These beans are a legacy from the French guys that were on board with Mike in December.  All the writing on the jar is in Spanish and we have no idea what the strange jelly-type stuff surrounding the beans is, but I wash it off and add the beans anyway.  After adding spices and various hot sauces, and pureeing the lot in the blender, the result is quite delicious.  So our evening meal is ready and waiting for us.

We arrive in Cane Garden Bay just after 5pm, and after bottling some of Mike’s delicious home-made water, we sling a few clothes on to go over to Myetts for Happy Hour.

It was great to see Mal there, although disappointing that Candace was not with him as she was not feeling too good.  Di and Bill Hartzman were also at the bar.  I found conversation extremely difficult as the Jimmy Buffet-type singer was competing all the time.  Not being a fan of Jimmy Buffet’s music anyway, this was irritating on two counts.  (I wonder how many outraged comments will be lodged against this entry – just as well I can moderate them!!)

We are back on the boat by 7pm and after lovely hot showers, we settle down to our soup and this week’s showing of ‘The Apprentice’.
