Day 2
Woke up to an overcast day....but the pool water still felt nice. The part of the crew wandered over to check out our digs at the Lofty Fig. Then on to breakfast [left one of the cohort behind....one to many Kaliks the night before perhaps :) ]
Breakfast at Curly Tails...had a good spicy eggsandwich called the Turkish.
Post breakfast we did a group wander around our section of Marsh Harbor. Some trinket selling shores along the main drag....this was followed by a wander toward the main section of town in the early/mid afternoon for lunch at Snappers (i think)..more fresh fish (blackened grouper)..yum.
Onward to the local mart for the chaos of provisioning. It was chaotic....8 people trying to work together to get both the general group things and some individual items in a somewhat crowded grocery store......
Followed by an extensive trip around town looking for 5 gallon jugs of water....3 gas stations, 1 water supply store later....we were able to procure 3 of them.....
Back to the boat for loading up. Oh...how could i forget...we also, while walking to the grocery store...hit the beer/wine/liquor store to provision the boat for the week (an interesting bill and a whole other story......).
Loaded up all of our gear on the boat...and for those of you that have done this before...it can be a warm sweaty pain in the but....however...with 8 of us generally working together in ways to stay out of each others way....it went ok. For my part, I got to pass things from the pier to the boat and to take away garbage (cardboard on boats is bad ususally...must avoid the possible cockroach eggs). Followed by stowing away my personal gear in the huge room that Bonnie and I shared. (See video for just how large that room is...by monohull standards).
After that the sun was setting and we were all kinda worn out. Not much occurred that night...just ended up snacking and sleeping on the boat....and checking out some of the boat parts.
Also finally felt like i was truly beginning a vacation......

Cockroach eggs from card board boxes? I would have never thought. I suppose someone learned the hard way on that one.
Yes. Supposedly they like to lay their eggs in cardboard and apparantly have access to cardboard near food sources...so..that is one of the typical reminders given (by charter companies) when chartering in the islands.
Well now I know!
