Fund Raiser
Today there was a fund raiser lunch for the local school. It was to start at 12:00.  We went over to shore and expected to buy lunch. I just can't  get used to "island time." The food actually started to be sold at 12:45. We had time to do a wash & get stuff put in the dryer after it was supposed to start but before it really did. The food was good. We had Bar B Q ribs, Mac & cheese, slaw, rice & beans for $10 each.  The children are raising money to go to Orlando, I am assuming Disney World. Most people in line for food were cruisers. We were so full we skipped dinner tonight. 

It was hot 80 & humid and barely any wind. 4 mph.  Lee decided to swim off the boat in the clear water to cool off. A boat came in today with supplies but still no fresh milk.  He did some computer stuff while the laundry dried. We will go back tomorrow to use the wifi again. He has some research he did not get to. We need to get some water in jerry jugs on shore too. Trying to keep the water topped off. 

We put up the wind scoop and it helped cool things down. This is really the first day we needed it. We had enough wind to have a comfortable cabin until today. I can not believe in almost 3 months we have had only 3 days of rain. I have not seen such long spells of no rain since I was a kid in California. But I am glad because cruising in the rain is not fun. Also our solar cells are happy.
