Sunday, May 21, 1995 - Aruba

Got a good night's sleep for a change and woke up feeling great, also for a change. Usually I'm so tired, I can barely crawl around the boat. We paddled into town, even though the wind was still gusting 25, and walked to a good supermarket we'd heard about. It turned out to be a clean, modern, U.S.-style market with lots of good stuff, as we'd hoped. It wasn't even as far from town as we'd thought it was. We bought a bunch of groceries and then walked to the Cruise Ship terminal to make phone calls. There are AT&T USA-Direct phones there. I phoned Linda and Nancy to find out when they're going to come down for a visit. Roy tried to phone Steve, but no answer. Linda sounded very cheerful. She's getting her AA Thursday in Health and Fitness Education, which is the field she wants to get into. The hearing for her suit against Green has finally been set for the week of September 18th, with a pretrial hearing next month. She'd like to come down, but doesn't know when she can. She'd like to come when Nancy's here, so she can visit her sister as well as us. That would be neat. We talked for a long time. She asked a lot of questions about Aruba, which I answered to the best of my ability. Next I phoned Nancy. She'll communicate with Linda and try to arrange a mutually agreeable time. However, she didn't think she could come until September, which isn't a good month for Linda. Well, we'll see what happens. Roy and I went to Wendy's for a yummy lunch and then returned to the boat.
