Interesting how such a minor chore such as buying groceries can turn into a half days project when cruising on a sailboat…
The procedure is as follows:
1. Hop into to dinghy loaded up with cooler bags and credit cards, (they take up a lot of space).
2. Dinghy ashore to dinghy dock - must stand up to keep arse dry!
3. Catch public transport (Yikes – Haven’t caught a bus in 20 years…),( two things you never run after a bus and a man FYI)
4. Fill up two shopping carts to the brim- that was easy we were hungry………
5. Have grocery store call Taxi Van for transport back to Dinghy dock. – missus we have two carts, filled to the brim, by the way, don’t send Micky with the Lada.
6. Load dinghy to the brim and try to make space to fit wife
7. Dinghy back to mother ship and unload.
8. Make the stuff fit in the fridge.
You get the idea – four hours later one is definitely ready for an adult beverage.
