I took off with one of my Canadian friends (Josée) to do some shopping and try and get a prop for my outboard. A cab would have cost $20-25.00 usd each way, so we opted for a bus ($1.00). I knew we weren’t in Kansas any more when I saw the bus driver drinking a Guinness with his buddies up front. They were trashed, dancing, stripping, blaring reggae (Bob Marley), it was so damn funny. At one point the driver jumped out of the bus to take a leek behind a tree, his buddy jumped in his seat and took over driving for a few blocks. They had a case of empty Guinness bottles under the seat which broke open and the empty bottles were rolling around the bus. One of the guys collected all the bottles, and threw the case and empties on the side of the road. It was funnier more then anything neither of us could stop laughing. They were so damn drunk.
The Yamaha dealer didn’t have the prop I needed so we went to the supermarket, the next two bus rides were a bit more laid back. We had dinner aboard their boat, they were staying at a marina, and I snuck a fresh water shower on shore and did some laundry, wow was that nice.
I borrowed Monsters Inc. from one of the kids and headed back to the boat for a movie.
It’s still blowing over 25 knots.
