We started this week with our dinghy ride. Another looper boat came to the marina a few days ago and plans to stay for a few months. On course we invited them to join us for our dinktails and told them about our weekly “support a local restaurant” and they told us to include them in these activities.
Even though we explored the Ortega River last week, we took the same route again since we had others with us – Callin’ in Gone, Destination, Maggie Jo,and Odyssey. Destination had engine trouble and headed back to the marina. They were disappointed as they had just had work done on the engine.
The next three days included our usual activities – walking in the sunshine, reading, boat tasks/maintenance, Governor Cuomo’s updates, etc. We also received our first food delivery from Walmart SuperCenter. When we traveled on the rivers we started shopping at the Walmart Grocery since it was generally the only one around. Here we have Publix but we found that for standard items, their prices are considerably more expensive. We still use Publix for certain items and Peter uses the courtesy bike and my list. I started a Walmart list earlier in the week and reserved a time for delivery and had until 1:45 am to add/change my items set for an 11am-12pm delivery. When I looked around midnight all of my items were still in the cart and available. By the time the morning came and I checked my list again, probably 20 items were no longer in stock. Fortunately I did not need anything desperately as I over ordered to start restocking the boat for our eventual trip north. I rarely walk to Publix now, maybe once every two weeks as Peter has taken on that task with the bike.
The next few days we had lots of rain and basically stayed on the boat. While we had bandana face masks, I took advantage of the lousy weather and took out my cotton yarn and crochet hook. Made masks with pockets for filters. Easy to make and then throw them in the wash and dryer. Peter posted the photo on his FaceBook accounts. The rain continued. Good thing we like to read and we have also been watching some of the original series on Amazon Prime and Netflix. Since there was so much rain we all agreed to postpone our weekly Wednesday dinner to Thursday.
