Our Venezuelan friend, Maria Elena, declared Thursday
International Women’s Day…a day where we must leave our husbands on the boat,
and dedicate our time to being powerful women. ( a great excuse to go out to
lunch). We began with a walk on the beach, then off to Yoga

. On the way back
from Yoga, we had to give the international sign for “our dingy motor has water
in the gasoline”….por favor senior can you help us? We were towed back to
Gayle’s boat where we changed the gas tank and our soaking wet underwear, and
headed into town. After a day of shopping at the straw market, lunch at the
Peace and Plenty,
Maria took us to the grocery store, to walk us through all of
the local ingredients that we were going to use as she was the guest chef on
Spiroserpula that evening. On our way back from town, we experienced what the
boys warned us about. For one mile, every wave broke over the bow and we were
laughing harder than the engine noise. However, as the water reached our
ankles, bailing and laughing became a simultaneous activity.

Revitalized with a
nice shower, we had a fantastic supper using local ingredients and hot peppers
in every course. A great day and some
wonderful new recipes to send us on our way to Staniel Cay.
