It's hard to top the most perfect day but I'm giving it my best shot! Yesterday I was absolutely lazy and did nothing of value. I decided to take the dinghy to the beach for a walk in the late afternoon. I didn't make it very far when the clouds began to look menacing. Of course, I'd left everything open on the boat, so my leisurely walk quickly became a full fledged run:-) I made it back just in time to get everything closed up tightly before the wind picked up and then the rain started. I was still hot from my run so actually stayed outside on the deck and enjoyed the cooling rain for awhile. The storm passed quickly and I headed back to the beach to resume my walk. This time though it was very calm and those little pesky bugs were back making it a bit unpleasant. It turned out to be a short walk and then back to the boat to put in the screens :-) Thankfully the no wind bug thing only lasted about an hour and then a nice breeze kicked in.
It's so beautiful and quiet here I've decided to stay for one more day - well at least one more. I actually have a great internet connection as a cell phone tower is nearby. It's nice and cool on the boat even in the afternoon, as I have the wind scoop up and it's pushing a very cool sea breeze through the cabin. I had a long walk on the beach at noon time today and that was actually not a good idea - way too hot on the beach. Still it was good to get some exercise. Another little storm seems to be headed this way this afternoon as I hear thunder in the distance.
I took some video of my little trip on Saturday. I'll try to get it edited and posted this week. The new little generator is already proving to be a new best friend. It's really easy to start, uses very little gas, and runs very quietly. It's nice not to worry about the batteries as running the generator for about an hour a day seems to bring them back up to full.
