We took a 15-minute dinghy ride over to New Plymouth on Tuesday afternoon and walked around.

Nothing much has changed since last year; actually it was pretty quiet everywhere.

There’s a new restaurant – I thought it was called Asian Foo until I realized the “d” was covered up by the Open sign- it’s Asian Food.

Guy riding by on a golf cart said “great food.”  Ed wants to try their sushi; I’m not so sure.  Fresh wahoo and mahi here anytime, but I’m not sure about raw imports.

We had probably the warmest day yet yesterday, in the high 70s.  We spent the afternoon on the beach watching kite boarders sail on the clear blue seas.

We learned that the 39-year old chef, Dominique, at the restaurant there had suddenly died at his 39th birthday party, right there last Saturday.  They don’t know why.

Last night we ate at Green Turtle Club across the bay, for steak night!  A 10 ounce strip steak with potato, salad and bread for $25, really good deal!

Ziggy got some tasty morsels too.

Later I had to stream Ed’s ballgame on my phone so he could watch the Heels beat up on the Woofies. He could only see 2/3 of the game on the screen but he was happy.   They got off to a slow start at first, but they came through.

We woke up in the night to a hard blow – 30+ winds – and rain several times.  Cap’n Ed had planned ahead so we were able to once again catch the rainwater and fill up our water tanks.

We’ve learned that many of the Abacos homes have big rain cisterns for drinking water, so they’re happy when it rains too.

The blow continued this morning, and temps had dropped into the 60s.  We had to shut the outside door into the boat cause it was too cold.

I concentrated in my jigsaw puzzle and we watched old Gunsmoke and Andy Griffith shows on TVLand, one of just a few cable channels the marina offers.

It’s probably the most entertaining.  Did you know Miss Kitty ran a brothel?  I didn’t know that when I was a kid.

I just thought she had really good hair and perfect makeup to be living out there in the Wild West.
