On the radio net, when people want to remind others of rules and common courtesies, they announce it as housekeeping. It seems there is more need for this type of messaging this year. “Please pick up after your dog on the beach, don’t try to sneak your garbage into the business trash cans, keep your noise down after 10 pm.” People seem a bit more edgy and irritable and emboldened.
We went to town in the morning. A catamaran came a little too close to us on the way. At the dinghy dock, people had tied their dinghies too tight, making it hard for others to get in. Someone let a dinghy go and David had to crawl over several other dinghies to catch it.
The grocery was excellent. I got some snow peas! There was a lady selling loaves of coconut bread. There was a long line of cars for the gas station because the truck was filling the tanks. Tourists were impatient. Not everyone acts like a grateful guest in a beautiful yet fragile country.
We were glad to get back to the boat. Jeff and Deb had invited us to lunch at the new Baymahni resort beach bar. It was lovely and delicious. We saw a funny boat that looked like a car go by.
After lunch, we went to Chat N Chill for a little volleyball. David played serious volleyball for a bit and I played fun volleyball. After a while, David had enough serious and migrated to fun. He has renamed them “fun volleyball” and “not so fun volleyball.”
When we returned, I was going to paddleboard but the wind picked up. Bad weather is due tomorrow.
