Quote of the day:
"I prefer ideas over plans. Because if an idea doesn't work out, you can just change it." - Rigby, on his ideas on how to get west once he leaves the boat in Ohio

Eggs from a new friend of Rigby's happy chicken. |
We are mustering tonight at 9 PM, with the goal of leaving directly thereafter. Eve says it's not ideal, leaving at night, having to navigate through a minefield of crab pots in the bay, dealing with a leaky small boat. But at least the winds have calmed.
Free food
I didn't get a chance to go to the restaurant, instead, the restaurant came to me. They brought 10 cans of beans, 8 boxes of various noodles, 3 boxes of rice-in-a-bag, 8 jars of spaghetti sauce, 6 bags of chips, 2 boxes of cereals, a ton of bottled drinks like Yoohoo and Arizona iced tea. They brought two huge casserole dishes with enough chicken parmesan and penne with sun-dried tomatoes and chicken to last us two days. I'm sure I'm forgetting something. It was a ton of food.
The Three-Banana Rule
One day there were three bananas turning brown in the fruit hammock. I threatened the crew that I would make banana bread with them if they didn't eat them stat. They made each other swear not to eat the last three bananas. Now it's a house policy: always leave three bananas in the hammock.

I spent the day starting the stove (hurrah! it worked like a charm), sea-stowing the galley, and repackaging meats and veggies so I could fit everything in the fridge. I put herbs in the food processor and then put them in the freezer. I made the pate that goes on Banh mi sandwiches for tomorrow's lunch. Then I made banana bread.
