May 6 Chub Cay

We woke up and didn't do much until noon when we took some laundry over to wash it with the idea we’d bring it back aboard and dry it now that we can power the dryer.

Usually, well the two times before, when we do laundry we stop at the store for Mary’s soda.  This time it was closed!  The specter of soda withdrawal loops closely ...

Once we took care of the laundry and I had the dryer running without blowing the 30 amp breaker, we all strolled over to where they are constructing new and colorful dwellings (sorry, no pictures because I forgot to bring my phone and camera)  and then headed to the pool.   We chatted with several other couples who were there and who had just arrived from Nassau and Bimini on boats.

The pool was cool just like yesterday.  We only lingered a few hours before heading back to the boat to get ready for the trek to the Bonefish Grill out by the airport. 

I called out there again but something was sounding suspicious and as it turns out I was calling the marina restaurant, not the Bonefish Grill.  It’s difficult to understand these guys sometimes and this was one of those times.  Neither I or the guy at the marina restaurant identified which restaurant I was calling about.  It finally clicked that the hours for dinner where exactly the same as the hours posted on the restaurants poster board. Oops!

Judy, who had Saulie's real number tried calling.  No answer.   But being and adventurous group we decided to walk there anyway.  And happily it was open!

But Saulie the owner and cook wasn't there.  And they had no seltzer water.  And they had no ice!  And since Saluie wasn't there,  no food either.

So we just had a beer and got a ride back to the marina in the local constable's truck.  Jeff and I sat in the back and the girls in the cab.

The constable had just stopped in to drop something off and agreed to give s a ride back to the marina.  His office and house were right next door so it wasn't a out of the way for him to drop us off.

Since it was late we all went to the marina restaurant and ate expensive and rather mediocre food.  Had some nice conversations with the other boaters there including two ladies who were at the pool with us earlier.  

Seems like everyone is leaving tomorrow!  And we are too!
