Happy Independence Day America!!

Went to a new restaurant called “The Kitchen.” You must gather all the ingredients and make your own meal. I have no clue as to how this place is still in business.

I can’t say anything new and exciting has happened in the last couple of days.  Nicky and I checked out the fresh market that is brought to the marina each Friday.  Nicky found some veggies; Savannah and I purchased some home made banana yogurt; it was delicious. 

Testing our Shirley Temple

We did rent a car and drove to various marine and hardware stores.  Nicky and I were able to check out a couple of grocery stores along the way. It appears we will have to do as we did in St. Thomas and pick up the basics at the closest store and then rent a car every couple of weeks to get the rest of our purchases. 

We had lunch in the True Blue area at a restaurant called the Dodgy Dock.  Dale and I had anchored in their cove on our first trip down 13 years ago and love it there.  Dale said that the little marina that is located there was in need of repair.  I still thought it was beautiful.  Gerry and Nicky saw the constant roll in the anchorage and weren’t impressed. 

Unfortunately, most of the attractions and restaurants on the island are still closed.  We had been hoping to visit some of the gardens, waterfalls and forts.  Hopefully, as time goes on, they will open. 

Finally:   Half of us are going to come out of this quarantine as amazing cooks. The other half will come out with a drinking problem.
