Lunch outside—again!

Lunch outside—again!

Thursday April 29, 2021

Yes we did.  We ate at the taco place where we knew we could sit out on the deck.  The highlight was definitely the Mahi Mahi taco.  Clearly not all fish tacos are created equal, that one was yummy.  The pulled pork taco that I chose as my other taco didn’t quite measure up. From what Mike said the carne asada taco wasn’t as good as the first one.  Perhaps if we’d consumed them in the other order....

Before we got to lunch, we did boat jobs.  We re-launched the dinghy and dropped the engine on it.  Mike emptied the diesel jerry cans into the main tank and then went by dingy to the marina to refill the cans.  A further trip was required to top up the forward tank and leave us with one partially full jerry can for future use.  The bad news was that the dinghy was still leaking air.  Mike attacked the leak with more super glue and some clear sealant material (who knows what that is?).  So far it looks encouraging so we are hoping for the best. 

After our over-indulgent lunch, we walked to the local Publix supermarket.  I might have imagined that we would buy little having just eaten so much.  However, once the purchases were in the backpacks, it seemed like a small mountain of stuff.  The return trip is never as enjoyable as the walk to the grocery store.  I was very glad to see the dinghy dock appear.

Later in the afternoon, we went for a walk on the beach.  The wind is blowing fairly strongly—at some points it felt like my legs were getting a sand blasting.  Mike tells me the wind is going to pick up more tonight.  I’ll have to hope that news of the NFL draft provides plenty of distraction from the whistling of the wind through the rigging.
