Sunday 23rd June 2013

Well I really think today as been the hottest day yet.

The problem is we are so used to being on anchor and the boat just swings with the breeze, and even if its too hot down below, it's always cooler up in the cockpit.

Well not here, being tied up to a dock, and all the side port holes a blocked by a cement wall there is no breeze at all, you go up on deck and nothing, it's shocking.

We have been busy still doing last minute things so tomorrow when they finish with the boat we can just untie and go, as long as its the same time as the bridge opening that is.

Being a Sunday not much is opened, so Plan C from yesterday with the frozen water bottles at Lagoonies did not happen as they were closed too, so The Captain went to a little Chinese run supermarket that our all over this island, and asked if we could put some bottles in their ice fridge to freeze overnight, they were more than happy to help.

Lets hope that works.

We also got a bag of ice from them to do a little experiment to see how long it will last, and No, no sugar, salt or flour was added to it.

We also wanted to get some groceries, but they are mainly fridge stuff and fruit and vegies, so this will have to wait till tomorrow.

And the rest of the day was filled in with us just pottering around doing this and that and trying to keep cool.

Well tomorrow is another day.
