This morning I
woke about 7am with the intent of continuing the internet work. Unfortunately, fate had a different idea
because I was still unable to connect.
Double URGH!!!
Where the hell is
our package with our long range WiFi antenna?
I’m sure it would have made all the difference in the world. Or, at least I hoped it would! That’s what it’s meant for … pulling in weak
signals!
We tried most of
the morning and I was eventually able to connect for a few moments at a
time. I was trying to upload
yesterday’s update to the blog. I would
get one date loaded and before I could hit save, it would crash … connection
lost! It was too frustrating for an
early morning task!
As the morning
progressed, the winds picked up. It was
blowing from the South-SouthEast and causing uncomfortable waves in the
bay. The boat tossed back and forth so
violently, a bottle on the counter fell into the sink and broke one of our
coffee cups. Yes, our fault for having
‘glass’ coffee cups but I just can’t bring myself to drink coffee from
plastic! Hate it!!! Maybe after all these cups are broken, I
will have learned my lesson and replaced them with unbreakable ones?
It didn’t take
long before we both agreed … we needed to head back to town. No internet, rolly seas and the decision was
an easy one.
We anchored back
in our old spot. After the anchor was
set and we’d backed down on it sufficiently to be comfortable it wouldn’t drag,
we were within 10-feet of our old anchor point. Now is that good or what!
We checked on our
package this morning and it said it cleared through San Juan, PR (today).
Hmmm … will it get here and cleared so we can pick it up or not? It still had an estimated arrival date of
today but there’s the million-dollar question … package or no package? I have my doubts.
We headed back
over to the kiosk (Da Lime in Da Coconut) so I could finish up some internet
tasks. I really wanted to get the Blog
updated with the latest email sent so that everything is up to date. I worked and Larry took the walk to the Post
Office. Half an hour later, he returned
with no package. Damn! They told him it most likely wouldn’t be in
until tomorrow (Saturday). The Post
Office was open until noon on Saturdays so guess what our Saturday morning task
would be …
Back on Soulmatie
for the evening and more work … all these projects have become like a full-time
job! I know it’s because we have so
much set-up and stuff to do and we’re still learning. Hopefully, people will actually read our blog and all this work
isn’t in vain!
Where does time
go? 1:30am and it is time for bed!
