Pearl Harbour Anniversary...

Grand Cru in her anchorage in the Spanish Town Trailer Park Boat yard

Today I completed the install of the electronics. Tied up and cleaned up all the wires, and it still works. We have moved to outside work, Dingy down, bimini up, etc.
Success, we lowered the dinghy with very little collateral damage, at least that is what the police report will show.
We removed the awning and put up the bimini with much success. Two old guys are more than twice as useful as one. We also tried out the new side shade curtains and with a little tweaking they will do well.
The Christmas lights are up

 Rick and I were singing Christmas carols that lasted about 1 minute then the trailer park boat yard guard dog started howling. The dogs name is Frostbite, try to get the irony. We have been searching for someplace to get a tasty treat here called 'Jaminums' Rick assures me that they are jelly filled donuts. The search continues. Christmas lady was at the grocery store again tonight, she's starting to scare me.

Rick keeps these sand pails in a place of honour. Apparently they were used by Kim and Dave on a sortie to the Caribbean in the past. A certain amount of pain was involved at the time, perhaps pain killahs???? Now they serve a higher function for older gentlemen during the night. Nuff said.
I am down to my last bottle of Gosslings...no further work will be done if and when I run out. The Captain has been put on notice and we may have to make another run to the big island. Scurvy is a real risk if you do not get all the vitamins you are accustomed to.
Dinner is about to be served.
Dinner, no further pictures of our food was a spicy chicken thing called 'Ricky Chicken' served with 'Ricky taters...
We watched a couple of episodes of 'Boss' and the day ended.
