It is so wonderful to see the sun rise and be blessed with health. With everything going on, I am not taking these moments for granted.
7:00 am- Did my morning stretches before having my morning coffee. 
9:30 am- I decided to wash a few towels and pillow cases since I want to avoid going to the laundromat. I never realized how much water you need to wash and rinse items. Good thing we have a water maker. I always appreciate our washer & dryer when I get home.
10:00 am- Steve went to the marina to see if he could fill his fuel containers. He tried calling them on the radio but had no response. He came back with full containers.
When he returned, we decided to defrost and clean the fridge. It is a great way to see what you have.
I also decided to try a new coleslaw recipe which Karen shared about a month ago. She said it last quite awhile in the fridge. Glad cabbage last a long time without being refrigerated.
2:15 pm- We decided to go for a brief ride inthe dinghy just to get out. We noticed Brad and Julia celebrating Sagamo’s 98 birthday. ( in human years) on the beach. We of course kept our distance. What a shame!
When we got back, I made a few fish and played my ukulele while Steve read.
4:00 pm- Funny how everyone is getting anxious. There were at least 11 people on the pig beach and someone came on the radio stating that the beach was closed and not to screw up our privileges here in the Bahamas. There was absolutely no distancing. People are getting restless. Stene and I are managing fine so far. I just want to keep moving but he said we will wait for better wind since we will cross to Eleuthera.
4:15 pm- We had hors d’oeuvres and wine while being entertained by other boaters.
6:30 pm- Fried onion and peppers and sausage on a bun accompanied by coleslaw for dinner tonight.
As Steve and I were sitting along side of the boat waiting for the sun set, a shark swam by.
Another gorgeous sunset. It was really hot when the sun was out but already a few once it started setting.
8:00 pm- Sat out on the boat and listened to music before going to bed.

8:30 am- What a nice treat this morning. There is a new app called ‘Houseparty’ which allows you to conference call whoever you want. We were able to see and talk to our daughters and grand children all at once. It was a great way to start the day. That may be the way we will have to see and talk to each other for awhile.
10:00 am- We lifted the anchor and went out in the bay to spin our compass. For some reason we noticed on the way here, it was a little off. After we reset it, we anchored back at the same spot.
Anything different is exciting now seeing that we can’t walk on the public beaches. Good thing I brought a lot of different things to do. It is sure feeling different however it is a lot worse at home seeing that they are being bombarded by news. I only can listen to the satellite radio only for a brief time.
11:00 am- Our friends Karen and Robert from Bellaventure 1 just text me to let us know they just drove across the border in Maine and should be home in Nova Scotia by dinner. They had no problem crossing the border. The Customs Officer educates them on Covid19 and told them they had to isolate for 14 days.
11:00 am- Steve made water. I am trying to make a basket from Palm Leaves but not the easiest. I managed to strip down all the pieces. At least it is keeping me busy.
2:30 pm- We decided to go for a dinghy ride. We saw the locals show up in their dinghy and feeding the pig on the beach. They must bring all the scraps from their home or restaurants.
We went by the grotto but no one was snorkelling. Usually you wait for low tides and no current.
Lots of sharks were going under our dinghy. 4:00 pm- Practices on my ukulele while Steve read until dinner.
6:00 pm- Tonight is steak, salad and noodles sautéed in butter with cauliflower. We are now out of tomatoes. Our supplies are dwindling down. I was just talking to my neighbour about ordering groceries on line since we will have to be in quarantine when we come home. She told me to order them at least 2 weeks ahead since they have a back log. By the way, we went on Costco site and they didn’t even have toilet paper available to order. Isn’t that interesting?
