today was a network day which is just as important as our to-do list. We went to the local St. Mary's Yacht Club that is once a week to greet and meet at a coffee shop all the locals and transients like us. We learned so much about anchors put in series. I wish we would have known that while in Bahamas. We did put an anchor in series but it was too close to the working anchor. I get it now! Invaluable!
We sat and soaked up the many stories and antidotes from accumulative years of all the Salts (seaman) that were there. We found out that 2 other boats will be traveling to the Panama around the same time we will be going. This is good in that we can gleam from their past experiences! You can not get these kinds of lessons in a classroom but only from those that have experienced it! loverly! Oh Great Teacher we are your students ready to learn.
After sitting at the coffee shop from 9 am - 2pm enjoying the conversation and wifi with a bit of work, we set back to the boat. The rains were big enough for us to tuck in our ship. I made Chai! Amazing! Chai from scratch with all the spices! I can't wait to make it again. this will be a big treat on the boat while sailing! I'm just so happy with that recipe! If you want it I can post it. I got it from Ben's nephew Ivan from Oregon. Ben's sister Ann made it for us while on our last visit and it was too yummy!
Well I baked for the first time but I don't want to report the results... let's just say I am married to the most kind man who loves all my mishaps in cooking expeditions.
So today one more thing on our list was accomplished... learn to cook with the stove and learn to make Chai. Check off my list!
Keep reading I have yesterday to blog about I'll post that next. well you don't have to read it if you don't want to but the pictures will be fun... if you like winches.
Peace Pam
