What Day is IT?

Getting Harder and Harder

to remember what day it is.



 We were anchored down in Marsh Harbour, when the rain started about 9 in the morning. It just keep raining all day. All Day it rained, get the idea


Around 2pm I decided to try setting up our rain water collection tarp that I had. When we move further south water starts becoming a problem. You just can't pull in somewhere and say fill me up.  In some places water cost $.20 to $.50 a gallon.  So you better be prepared to capture any rain water that comes your way.  Well I spent about an hour out in the rain trying to figure out the best way to do this and getting a bath at the same time.  This tarp has a hose connection in the middle and is made for ceiling leaks in an office. You've seen them.  As long as there is not a lot of wind it works great.  In the 2-3 hrs I had it up we captured about 25 gallons of water. Our water tank wholes 75 gal.  So this is a plus.
Btw, the rain finally stopped around 7pm.


 Soon after Joan organized a pot luck dinner on shore at Mangoes Marina, who let us use their gazebo to have fun in.
