Injuries!

Day 209, March 7th, 2010

Pea Soup and Sea Sharpe left first thing this morning, calling into "the Net" to say their goodbyes to the harbour. We shall miss them. In many ways I rather wish we were setting off again but the timing isn't quite right for us yet, so we'll keep busy with the many activities and leave here on the 20th.

We both went to Baseball at 2:00 p.m. They had such a good turnout, there were enough to make up 4 teams. Only 2 women this time! John and I played on different teams. Both our teams won the first round and then we played each other! My team won overall by 1 run!!!
I really didn't have much to do with the win though. I pulled a thigh muscle running to first base the first time. They appointed a pinch runner each time after that! I managed to hit the ball each time but not very well. Overall, I felt a bit disappointed - I used to play baseball like a guy but something seems to have slipped!!! John really played quite well. He got some good hits and managed to score several runs too. Unfortunately he wiped out in the first game, running between 2nd and 3rd. Scraped his knee and pulled a muscle in his hip! He was moaning and groaning by the time we got back to the boat in the evening.

After the game we went visiting in the dinghy. Ended up meeting a nice couple from Newfoundland, and had a nice visit aboard Breeze Hunter from Toronto. We hope to have them aboard Periwinkle in a couple of days.
