What's The Date?

Today is Sunday, and for the first time since I arrived, we had a bit of a blow last night. It was nothing to write about really, but you must be getting tired of always reading about how beautiful and warm and sunny the weather is here.

Al and I took a walk around the town and took some photos of the area. We chatted with shop keepers and of course the locals always want to hear about us and the boat. Mack is a great Ambassador for Ryen’s Quest and the entire country of Canada! We met and spoke with two couples who were badly damaged while underway when Ida hit them. One had their entire mast and rigging laying at the boatyard, and the other had huge chunks of their boat missing.

Later in the afternoon we took a dinghy ride to the Bermuda Yacht Services yard and had showers, talked to some people and then took another little ride to the Dinghy Club. For any of you who are familiar with this place, they now have two jetty’s.

The funny of the day was figuring out the date. None of us knew the day of the week or the date of the month. With the sincerity of a five year old I quipped, “I’m pretty sure we are still in November.” It wasn’t meant to be funny but the guys thought it was hysterical.
