Heaven on earth

We are in heaven.....

The Wickel's have graciously lent us their car for a few days so yesterday Bill drove to Weymouth and picked me up. After lots of laundry and a good home-cooked meal, we drove to Kingman Marina on the Cape. It was a windy night, and the boat is listing in its slip.

This morning we woke up and did lots of errands. First we hit West Marine and got some parts to fix a few of the things that broke on the way here. We also got new fenders to replace the ones that were smashed by the tires at the cruise ship dock in Bermuda.

But... on the way out of the West Marine parking lot, we spotted a sign for $8.99 lobsters. Yes, that's right, $8.99 lobsters. Now to put things in perspective... we paid $43 in the BVI one night for a half a lobster with no claws and even $15 for crappy hamburgers in Bermuda. So we immediately stopped and had a delicious lunch of lobster, french fries, and coleslaw. And we just might go back tomorrow.

After we went food shopping (we expect lots of visitors this weekend) and Bill got his hair cut and a new Red Sox hat. Oh, and by the way, we were able to get the Red Sox on the computer (via MLB.com) last night, which is another plus to being in the States where we have a (somewhat) reliable internet connection most of the time.

It is nice to be back in New England (even though it is chilly.)
