Still on hold for crew

I'm just counting the days till Friday 
and Cam's arrival, to start the return voyage.




Phil and Leslie of s/v Jubilee had their son and girlfriend arrive for a week.


Then my boat batteries crapped out.  $600 and I got locally the bare minimum to return.

A muscle man, 18 year old, from the dock to help me lift them.  
~130 lbs is too much for my old back.  ($600 is too much for my old wallet!)
Yesterday i took my bike out for 3.5 hr marathon ride around town.
yesterday I pulled the bike up on shore to change my front brakes in the shade of the trees.  while I was sitting there working a 'kid' of about 30yoa walked up and asked me if I could "take him to Miami for $5,000?"  it was pretty strange.  I think he was serious.  I told him no.  made me wonder if he was Haitian?  any normal person can get to Miami for a few hundred bucks.  He then asked, "are you worried about the coast guard?"  another - NO.    *aint life strange.




So i'm on hold.  
I'll do laundry Tuesday.  
Grocery shop Thursday.  
Cam arrives Friday.
