First day of the charter season...
..and we have not gone very far, from Harbourview down to Road Harbour and we are just waiting for the rest of our guests to get in so we can do a sunset sail to...somewhere...tonight. The usual story of lost bags, rerouted and delayed planes.
Took a pic of the boat last night on our way out to dinner at the Sugar Mill. Funny we had to debate the best way to get there as we are not used to being at this end of the island!
Decided to go through town as I had to get a couple items off my provisioning list and put a deposit in my favorite bank! Stopped at Bobby's and i needed baby carrots and the ones on the shelves expired October 23rd. I passed on those and then they had nothing else I needed, so off we went to the bank.
Now, I figured I was being very clever, as the last time I tried to deposit a business check in the machine, there was no envelopes, so I was foiled. This time, I was prepared and had an envelope with all the instructions on the outside.
You may think that i could not have many problems with the bank on the weekend, but apparently the customer service people left notes with the teller machine this weekend that I was not of "good character"
I jauntily put in my card, press deposit, and it asks me if I want a receipt for the transaction. Well of course I do with my luck lately! So I said Yes. It then said " this machine cannot give you a transaction record" I pressed ok, and another sign came up saying "do you want to proceed without a transaction record? I was feeling so confident I said yes, at which time nothing opened up to take my envelope and the machine promptly ate my card and went back to the sign that says "insert card"
I was not sure whether to laugh or cry, so I settled for laughing. My trip to town even on the weekend, sucked, in one word!
Off we continue on to meet our friends and guests at the Sugar Mill for dinner. Usually one of my favorite restaurants. I was fairly dissapointed last night. For the prices charged the service was very sloppy, I won't even go into the details. The food was ok. The setting however is lovely still.
Unfortunately, I had something in the food I was very allergic too and it was a long night...Lets just leave it at that! Today though was pick up day! The galley actually looks like I sometimes do cooking in it! I had to get out my recipe books though as I never would have remembered what went into my dishes.
615, no guests yet, looks like tonights anchorage is going to be our mooring at Baughers Bay, oh well the fishing is good there!
