Off to St. Barthes

Hello!

After a great weekend and day of work yesterday we are off to St. Barthes this afternoon. Sunday we hiked about 6 miles around the tip of the island so we were able to see the atlantic side as well. Today we are running final errands to pick up the spare parts, picking up groceries, and then are pushing off.

Today we are picking up our Thanksgiving dinner. Our oven is too small for a Turkey but we are hoping we can fit in a roast chicken. If not, we will downsize a step further to cornish hens! Walid is a bit worried about running out of propane if we run to oven for the time needed to roast a chicken but I feel that Thanksgiving spirit will prevail for us! (and if it doesn't we have extra propane tanks.) In addition to our bird we are going to make stuffing, creamed spinach, and asparagus with a hollandaise sauce. We are really looking forward to our first Thanksgiving in boat land. If we don't find an internet cafe before Thanksgiving we hope you all have a great holiday and long weekend!

Have a great Thanksgiving guys. Keep up the good work. I will be draining your brains when we meet again. You will know all that can be known about our boat.
