Day 198, February 24th, 2010

Its just too much to hope for - 2 sunny days in a row!!! Back to cloudy skies and rain again.

Went to "The Stuffed Pig" for breakfast. Oh my goodness! All this fatty food! Don't say anything! The Piggy place is rather like the Hoito in Thunder Bay, except for the palm trees! You've gotta love it!!!

After breakfast we walked up to Publix for some groceries and then back to the boat. Fixed Calico Beans to take to the pot luck at 5:00. We thought perhaps it might be cancelled because of the rain but it wasn't. Met a nice young couple there last night - he was from New Zealand and she was from Brazil. They are looking for their next trip as crew, no known destination. We had a good chat about New Zealand where John and I will go next winter!!!

By the time we got back to the dinghy the wind had come up again! It was blowing like crazy and raining again!! The wind kept up all night. The boat swung this way and that on the mooring buoy and the wind howled. Not exactly a peaceful night's sleep.
