Quarantine Anchorage (Sailor/Wuflu Jail), Grenada – Day 8/9
12.02.484N
61.45.411W

First:  Corona isn't Trump's fault, Ebola wasn't Obama's, Sars wasn't Bush's and only a handful of Herpes cases were Clinton's. 

Another day of nothing really to report.  There were several more boats that left the quarantine area today; you could actually see the anchorage emptying out.  By noon, a steady stream of boats started taking their place.  The boats closest to us left and within an hour, they were replaced with new ones.  We kept a sharp eye out for anyone trying to anchor in front of us as we have about 200’ of chain deployed and didn’t want them to disturb the anchor. 

Dale kept busy doing more bright work.  He also thought that he would tighten the hex screws on the steering wheel as it had become wobbly with all of the hand steering during our transit.  Of course, as with all boats, nothing is ever easy.  What started out as tightening a few screws became an, oh crap! it needs to be soldered.  Apparently, there were points around the wheel holding the spokes in place that have broken.  So, add another item to our list of things that need to be repaired once we get out of quarantine.

By evening, the wind picked up and after watching a Disney movie prior to bedtime we had a sudden downpour.  By the time we had scurried around the boat closing all of the hatches, we were soaked.  Hopefully, tomorrow, with any kind of luck, we’ll find all of the Saharan dust has been washed off.  We ended the day by taking down the shade cloths we had put up yesterday.  The wind was picking up to the point where they were becoming sails and we didn’t want to drag during the night.   

Finally:  (since this is such a short post and this joke was too good to leave out) . . . The AMA has weighed in on the administration's Corona Strategy:  The Allergists were in favor of scratching it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.
The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.
Meanwhile, Obstetricians felt certain everyone was laboring under a misconception, while the Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted.
Pathologists yelled, “Over my dead body!” while the Pediatricians said, “Oh, grow up!”
The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the Radiologists could see right through it.
Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing and the Internists claimed it would indeed be a bitter pill to swallow.
The Plastic Surgeons opined that this proposal would “put a whole new face on the matter.”
The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea.
Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas, and those lofty Cardiologists didn’t have the heart to say no.
In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the assholes in Washington.aboring under a misconception, while the Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted.
