Sunday, May 14, 1995 - Aruba

There were three cruise ships in town this morning. One was huge -- bigger than the other two put together. It left after a few hours. Roy went up the mizzen mast to repair the wind generator. One of the brushes was completely wrecked out, but somehow the Master Magician managed to repair it. Now the wind generator is putting out more amps than ever, even when it was brand new! Later, Roy paddled to the pink building, landed on the beach, and rode the shuttle boat into town. He wanted to buy groceries, but all the stores were closed. He didn't even see any crowds of people from the cruise ships. He felt uncomfortable riding the shuttle, because it's supposed to be just for guests of the hotel, so from now on we'll go to town in our Royaks. While Roy was gone, I paddled up to the pink building and saw there were a whole bunch of pink buildings. One of them was labeled "Gym". I don't know what the others were. There were several small beaches, jetski rentals, tennis courts, etc. The whole complex belongs to the Sonesta Hotel.
