Chili picnic for the dock.
Dad made chili today for everyone on the dock. It was a really nice picnic! I also made this really delicious apple spread, seasoned with sage, rosemary, fennel and a few other things and it was the perfect blend of savory and sweet. It made a great addition to the chili when stirred in too. So everyone came over and people brought cornbread, coleslaw and drinks. It was a great time to talk to everyone and say goodbye since we’re leaving on Thursday.
We were going to leave today but we just weren’t ready at all, I don’t even have a new inner tube on my bike which got a flat last week. Thursday has fair winds and will give us enough time to clean up, finish stowing and get out of here. We’re going to go out in the afternoon about 5 miles and wait there for the wind to turn from the west or southwest and then make our way to Biminy where we’ll check into The Bahamas.
Today on reddit somebody was looking for advice on learning to sail and getting a boat to cruise in. I wrote several paragraphs about choosing and buying a boat, cruising lifestyle, home schooling, etc that I’m going to edit and start pasting into this blog as a little series, which should be interesting.
