9 September The island dash

Have wheels, will fly around the island ordering and buying! We left the marina in the morning with a stack on shopping bags in anticipation of returning with each of them full. We exceeded our expectations!

First stop was the glass man to order replacement mirrors for in the heads, then on to the gas terminal to fill a propane tank, back to glass man to pick up our order and across the road for 5lbs of sprats / jacks Polly food. Driving past the marina we dropped off the first load. I said it was a dash!

Then to Budget Marine to order a propeller for the Yamaha outboard and a new set of house batteries. The prop should arrive from Tohatsu in the US in four weeks. BM have sent an availability and price request to Trojan in the US for 8 deep cycle lead acid batteries – the same ones that we've used and been happy with for 6 years. This took a long time.

Why cook when we can drive to a restaurant? Dinner this evening was curry take away from Indian Summer at the Container Park. We bought six meals, ate two and put the rest in the freezer. Crafty planning? Yep!
