Sleep report (once we get over our jet lag I promise I will stop writing about our sleep) Rick has a pretty normal night but I was up most of the night and therefore slept until 10:45. In my defense it was 2:45am EST.
After getting a late start we started the day by going to charter base. Devina, the customer service manager, thought she might have a power cord for the PC so we wanted to check with her first. Unfortunately no joy. We decided to take the bus downtown instead of walking. I always like to take public transit because it makes me feel very accomplished if it all works. Today it all worked so I’m feeling good.
Once downtown we went to the telcom store and got the SIM for my phone. Then we started checking the electronics stores. Although the PC is about 3 years old, I think this model was recently introduced here so we didn’t have any luck at the first three or four places. Eventually we stumbled into the office of an IT consultant. It turned out that the cord for his Ipad would work but it had a Seychelle three prong plug which wasn’t going to work on the boat. Next problem to solve, find a converter which we tracked down pretty easily.
Two problems solved it was time for some lunch so we went back to the bakery and got panninis. At the bakery Rick talked to a friend of the owners who is a sailor. He gave Rick pointers on where to go and what to avoid. We may meet up with him later in the trip.
On the way back to the apartment we stopped at the market recommended by Devina and ordered food and supplies to be delivered to the boat tomorrow. There are a few things to get tomorrow at the imported food store but in general we are feeling good about our progress.
Here are pictures of the town etc.
We didn’t go out to dinner because other than the restaurant we went to last night there isn’t much inspiring. I had my leftovers from last night and Rick had leftover panni. I worked on the blog. Rick hung out on the deck and watched the Seychelle fruit bats.
