Yep----definitely waited a day too long. Would like to get moving on again.
We've met some very nice and helpful people here, though. There are 2 boats parked next to us--from Ottawa--2 couples traveling together. They've been to the Berry Islands and have some local knowledge for us. I've even gotten to practice my French with them. Bought a dozen lobster tails our first day here--for 40 bucks--and gave them 4 of them for their help and friendliness. They're on their way back over there--(I added the "over there" so I can claim to have authored a sentence with three versions of the word there, or is it their, or is it they're?)
A big catamaran pulled in today while we were exploring in L'il Liv. A family of five from Long Island living aboard their 53 foot Cat. They home school their three kids--about 6, 9 and teen-age. Very nice people who also had some local knowledge re the Berry Islands and fun things to do there
Stopped at the bar at the Big Game Club yesterday for a cold rum drink and chatted with three Floridians who had just flown oveer for the day in their plane. One of them, obviously the guest, was carrying a guitar case on his back and spoke with a British accent. As they were leaving I asked him what kind of guitar he was carrying and he proceeded to tell us about his experience as a student of Andre Segovia--famous classical, esp. Flamenco style, guitarist that played and performed until his death a few years ago at the age of 96. I didn't even have to ask--he just offered to play for us and did--2 tunes--one classical spanish and one Flamenco. It was really kewl!!! Remember? You never know who you're talking to. These are fabulous experiences that will be remembered and cherished.
Sooooooo---I guess we'll just hang out here for another couple of days--maybe have dinner with the Frenchies. I think we'll go for a day sail tomorrow and enjoy these beautiful waters---do a little exploring. Take some pictures of the islands from a distance.. More later.
