This is the hardest place to buy groceries we've ever been. All the super markets are a zillion miles from here, which wouldn't be so bad if we had good bus service, but with buses running once an hour, a simple trip to the store takes forever. I spent most of the morning just buying a few groceries.
Roy took the old varnish off the top of the starboard rub-rail, and I sanded and varnished it. The rub-rails had been in the worst state they've been in since I first met Jofian. They looked awful. Just one coat has made a tremendous difference. By the time I get six coats on there, she'll look like the Jofian again.
Roy continued sanding. Also read a batch of mail that arrived from Steve. In the evening, we began trying to figure a course. We need a lot more charts. Have hardly any decent harbor charts for the Bahamas. Also need charts of the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Aruba, etc. The best place to get charts is in Fort Lauderdale, so I'll go down there tomorrow and see what I can find.
Roy phoned Manola Garcia. He invited us to his place for supper Thursday evening. We invited him and his wife to sail to Fort Lauderdale with us when we leave here. He was thrilled.
