The winds were strong today out of the SE at about 20 knots so we devoted today to getting some business done. Harry worked diligently on assembling photos for the blog while Sarah defrosted our freezer that had frosted up in only 8 days, and hand washed some laundry. After lunch we did manage a walk through the settlement as far as the power station fueled by diesel generators. We also had had a problem with algae growing in one of our 5 gallon Jerry cans of water so we dumped the bad water out, shocked the Jerry can with some bleach, and and refilled the Jerry can with free water from the island’s reverse osmosis distribution system found at a spicket on the back side of a building by the government docks. Arriving at he dinghy dock, and young boy, Henry, was checking out the fish with his friends and offered his assistance handling our dingy lines. He was very enthusiastic but he also remained distracted as he pointed out and named the various fish that were swimming by.
We passed on the first half of the social at Lorraine’s Café ($60 pp dinner) but we went to Lorraine’s Café after eating dinner aboard Juno to listen to the Rake-n-scrape band once again.
