Why is it that the front doorbell always ring at the most inconvenient time? David was hoisted aloft in the bosuns chair fixing the wind generator and we were visited by three dugout canoes selling lobsters they'd caught that morning. Naturally I left Ddavid hanging while I negotiated how many and how much. From the first seller I had 6 small lobsters and 1 large crab for which I had to scrabble for buckets and haul seawater to keep them alive.
Back to the matter up the mast and in rolls the second dugout with more lobsters. We had plenty, but our friends on Inspiration Lady and Anthem are due to arrive in a coupe of hours and they haven't had any yet. I bought them four beasties and battered two cans of beer for one mid size lobster for us.Moe buckets and more water. Our cockpit was awash with lobsters of different colours and sizes.
David finished up the mast and we set up a production line to cook and prepare a decadent lunch of lobster with garlic butter and garlic mayonnaise. When we bought Jackster we found a super size saucepan in the cupboard jperfect for boiling lobsters and finally we use it. I cooked and David dissected. Then we devoured our sweet and succulent feast and afterwards lay back to ease our very full stomachs.
