Betty, Martha and I took the Tahoe and headed to Homestead this morning for shopping. I needed to find the collapsible tent poles for the awning. That proved to be a challenge. After a couple of stops, one at a real Army Navy Store, we were unsuccessful. By noon, we had also stopped at Walmart and Home Depot. Betty was trying to find a flat hose to replace the one that had sprung leaks aboard Andiamo. Of course, we found other treasures in our shopping: Solar, “UFO,” and Stick/whistle lights for various usages and boats, as well as some other useful items.
Then it was on to BJ’s. . . . Now we have been provisioning all along, but we still found items we still “needed.” The Tahoe had to be scientifically packed. The guys took one look and questioned our sanity as to where it would all go. Somehow homes were found for all items.
Once unloaded from the ladies, it was the guys turn to head out to West Marine, while I prepared dinner for everyone.
The news on Sevilla is bitter sweet. The transmission is installed and they are now heading towards Marathon. However, they have made the decision to stay stateside rather than make the crossing to the Bahamas. They will keep warm here in Florida and perhaps meet up with us on the trip north. We will miss Glen and Maureen and wish Sevilla the very best.
