Back in Wi Fi Hell

I am renourished and packing away those pounds like a bear getting ready to hibernate for the winter. Just in case there are anymore of those pesky lows wandering around, I figure I will need a few fat pads for the jump to Ireland. That's my excuse anyway.

We took a public bus around the island yesterday. Took about 2 hours. Wow what scenery!

Today was laundry day on Ostinato. There was not an inch of deck space that didn't have laundry hanging above it. The little machine works pretty good. I just have to keep myself from cramming too much in.....and that makes for a long day.

The chair for the helmsman was redesigned and is already back on board ready for installation. They did a beautiful job with the repairs. It will be good to have it back in place. King worked on the salon table today. We learned it was simply attached with 5200. This afternoon it was screwed down. We will all be a bit more comfortable knowing that. Last but not least, Ed installed and hooked up the water so we can take it directly from the dock vs the water tanks. No slackers today!

We all looked forward to Horta for many reasons, one of which was wifi in the marina. No hanging out beside restaurant windows searching for a stray connection the marina has Not one but 2! Neither of which has enough band width to send a 5 word email more less get on line.....gerrrrrrr.

Tried some 3.50€ local wine tonight. Not bad! Will be stocking the bilge with a few bottles. Ivor, the white is much better than the red.
