Once again we are enjoying our stay in Barra. It is the time to restock our supplies in order to make our journey north. Last year we had water and beer delivered to the boat...more water than beer I might add. And of course there are the visits from the French baker. Today we savoured his multigrain bread with our Greek salads. There is a new service in the form of the 'laundrey boat'. How nice not to have to share our stinky clothes with the other people travelling in the water taxi.
This morning we breakfasted at Banana's with Mary and Tommy. What a pleasure seeing them again.
They were telling us that the weather we encountered last year was not the norm. This year apparently is more the norm...hot and humid with less wind.
Yesterday we spent some pleasant time at the Sands Hotel. It is a place that welcomes those of us who anchor in the lagoon. You can dinghy there and use their facilities as long as you spend a bit of money. You can also pay a nominal sum to use their facilities for the entire day. Sometimes we feel the need to vacate the boat but we dont want to go to a restaurant. The Sands is a perfect haven.
We are such a lazy lot here but the heat and humidity does that to you. Every day we continue to do small jobs but after an hour of work it is quitting time.
My niece, Mags, suggested that I include our position to make it easier for people to see exactly where we are. I have done that. Just click where it says 'Location' (at the bottom of the blog) and you should see where we are.
