May 5 2015 Chub Cay

It was not a particularly exciting day.

The weather gurus now predict a named tropical storm forming right over us.  But luckily it will move rapidly north and strengthen which means we wont effect us very much.  Maybe some elevated winds for a short time.  But only a small chance of squalls.

Meanwhile it was cloudy all day with on and off sprinkles.  We decided  to walk to the Airport again and see if the restaurant was open.  It wasn't but we didn't know that until we walked the 1.5 miles.

Peacocks on Chub Cay.  Who knew

Headed back and saw a peacock of all things.  I didn't know there were any on the island.

We had to stop at the store to buy Mary her soda and ice cream.  And then went back to the boat and after a bit headed to the pool.

The pool was deserted except for those seagulls splashing at one end of the pool again.  The water, fresh and chlorinated, wasn't quite up to the temps we're used to now.  It was down right chilly.  But we waded around anyway.

Splitter plugged into an extension cord

Extension cord plugged into the boat energizing the secondary buss

After returning I had a note about hooking up our second AC buss using only a single 30 amp circuit.  Basically I had to string an extension cord up to the fly bridge after plugging it into the unused plug of the 30 amp splitter.

So what you maybe be asking?  Well, doing this makes it possible to run the water heater and other A/C units as well as the washer and dryer all off of a 30 amp circuit.  Normally we need a 50 amp circuit to do this.  The only alternative would be to run the generator.

After that was taken care of we decided to forgo making dinner and instead walked to the expensive restaurant here on the grounds.  We had salad cravings and after a 3 figure bill those cravings melted away.

So then it was back to the boat and bed, or in Mary's case watching TV where seemingly famous people dance and then listen to three blowhards tell them how well they did.  I dont get it but I maybe in the minority on this one.
