the glorious sunshine.
A lady came by the boat in the morning while we were having coffee on
deck, asking where we had come from etc. Of course she was amazed to
hear about Barry's exploits. He recounted his tales of his transatlantic
and she promised to get the local press to call by to hear his story!
Meanwhile, Louise and I rented bikes from the Piccozzi family's bike
rental store (which is behind the Piccozzi's gas station, which is
across the street from Piccozzi's marina and next store to Piccozzi's
liquor store ... one gets the impression that the Piccozzis have
business on Shelter Island somewhat sewn up!!!).
We cycled to Shell Beach for a swim where we were both stung by
invisible jellyfish!!! Thankfully the stings were akin to nettles and
died down after a few minutes. But that'll be the explanation for why
no-one else was swimming I guess!
Bob spent the day working on the boat, cleaning floor boards, finding
new homes for diesel cans to make sure we don't have any diesel
accidentally in the bilges on the way home etc. Thank you Bob!!!
Tomorrow we're heading to Port Jefferson, which will take us about 10
hours - so unfortunately that means an early start. We're being
incredibly adventurous tonight barbequing our own food ... without any
proper utensils I might add ... so we're going to have to get creative
with the contents of the tool box ... should be interesting!!!
More from Fort Jefferson tomorrow...
