5 September Back on board


I returned from a month at home yesterday and today we went got into gear ordering stuff from Amazon and sorting out our mobile phone. Sorting out the mobile phone involved ditching Metro PCS which has failed to deliver any internet coverage in NY for a month. We called the provider three times and had pleasant chats with ladies in the Philippines about lack of coverage the final call was to request a refund on our monthly $50 charge to be offered $5 off next month's fee. So we have changed to AT&T and have a full service.
A couple of hours in the library followed where to logged on to Amazon and did some serious shopping replacing head torches, dive torches, a waterproof bluetooth music speaker, USB cables, etc. The little things that make a difference. David had had a chat with the manager at the local ACE store and they had offered to act as our mail drop address – an essential for online shopping.
We're going to pick up one of the two day free mooring balls for the weekend as hurricane Dorian which destroyed the Abacos passes about 300 miles to the east of us. We don't expect it to affect us greatly, but on a mooring ball we are closer to the dinghy dock and away from an area where boats might drag. We were hit by a dragging boat during a storm in Newport, don't want another scratch.
