Maren
We arrived at the marina shortly before 4pm and our boat for the week, Maren, was not yet ready. We hopped on a shuttle to the local grovery store to pick up a few bits and pieces, returned to the marina to enjoy a beer at the marina bar while the sun began to set, and waited patiently for the boat to be ready.
By 6:30, we were finally aboard, and we were busy stowing our gear when the provision I had ordered online suddenly arrived. Following a large bad full of fresh fruits and vegetables, Chis passed me a mik crate full of bananas. I can only guess that when I input quantity as 12, I was ordering pounds, not individual. I had overdone it on a numner of other counts - apples, tomatoes, etc. Anything that I had thought was ordered per item was indeed per pound. 5 tomatoes became 5 pounds of tomatoes...
Too, our turkey for sandwiches arrived as ham, and in vast quantity.
We'll spend the week eating ham and banana sandwiches!
Neither of us lasted long our first night, especially Chis who worked long hours to be able to get away for the week. After a dinner of salad and fruit (yes, bananas), we fell sound asleep despite the screaming baby on the boat next to us and the party boys on the boat across the dock.
