Bit of a low day on board for everyone. Perhaps we were all tired from staying up for last night’s super fun Junkanoo parade. Perhaps the relentless 30knot + wind battering us and howling through the rigging has our heads ringing. Today was a big work day for Tina on the laptop, work phone calls, meetings on land (by chance a contact from Toronto was in this island on holiday and we set up a business mtg while in the same location!). Mike and kids wrestled their way through some school work, got to visit the islands famous bakery, and did a little shopping. The fresh veggies available today were cabbage and lettuce (carrots too but we still have ours from US). Nothing much green available….canned veggies for dinner it is. Rainstorms off and on all day long provided just enough water to scrub the decks but not enough to fill the tanks.
Tomorrow’s forecast…reduced winds…but only from 30+ to 25+….hmmmm….
Included a few photos from Christmas day visit to beach and fun dinner festive lights in cockpit.
Also, we just got news that one of Tina’s clients just had a workplace fatality at their manufacturing facility – someone Tina knew. Devastating news. How quickly life can change. The gentleman was 60, married with 2 kids and 7 grandkids. He was a lovely soul and a pleasure to work with. We never know when our time will come. Be intentional with your life, your time, who you spend it with. Give your loved ones an extra hug tonight.
