It is now Saturday, and we
spent today shopping at the open market for fresh produce. One good
thing about the cold weather is that it helps our produce (anyone
remember what produce is?) stay fresh longer. All we have to do now is
shop for canned foods and a few odds and ends like pancake mix and
taro. We're trying a meal system of seven days of meals that will
basically repeat. We're trying to keep it simple because we don't have a
cook, and because the weather could possibly get rough enough to make
fancy cooking difficult. In that case, we'll most likely be eating a
lot of saimin!
Tonight
we're having a barbecue with the Hikianalia crew from Hawaii. I'm
lucky to have two families here, since the Hawaiian crew is comprised of
my friends from Hokule'a. It's good for the two crews to get to know
each other, as we will be sailing next to each other (or maybe
racing...but it's never a race). Out on the ocean, we will have to take
care of each other and keep an eye on each other, just like YOU do in
the classroom...RIGHT??
Our
boys from Tahiti arrived in shorts, thinking it wouldn't be that cold.
Where we are in Greenhithe, however, the wind funnels through and was
gale force today...blowing 35 mph. It is cold. The boys are going to
get their turn at shopping for warm clothes tomorrow. After tomorrow,
we should be pretty much ready to go, leaving Monday for any last minute
errands.
