Yep, still in Oriental. It's a hard place to leave. We have made great progress on the wood work and our to do list. Finally after nearly twenty years of boating and coincidentally on our 20th wedding anniversary we have refrigeration. It took two days and five trips to the hardware store but the Skipper succeeded. There wasn't even much swearing involved. This achievement now means a new approach to provisioning and things like ice cream and yoghurt on board. For those of you out there with access to a full sized refrigerator I know it doesn't sound very exciting but if you have lived on dried milk powder for as long as we have it does make a difference.
Autumn is starting to make itself felt after almost three weeks of glorious warm sunny days. Last night was very windy and cold. The Skipper had to break out the jeans and shoes for the first time in awhile. Several people in Oriental were relieved to discover that we do have cold weather clothing as we have been sticking to shorts and sandals while working on the decks.
So it is definitely time to head to warmer climes.
