Twelve avocados were perfectly ripe at the same time today. What can you do? When life feeds you avocados, make guacamole. By the time you add cilantro, salsa, cheese and chips, you have enough nachos to feed an army. Did that slow us down? Of course not.We added tacos, a bottle of wine, and the berry pie that Pat sent us on our way with - all incredibly delicious. Silence prevailed except for the occasional sounds of the marine life around us and the appreciative murmurs of culinary ecstasy by the Quijote crew. A late evening sunset splashed the surface of the bay while we devoured our meal, stuffing ourselves as only the high energy lifestyle of outdoor adventuring will allow.
The latter point is, of course, so much rationalization for overdoing dinner. Sailing is mostly a sedentary sport. If we have many more meals like last nights, they will have to roll us off the boat.
We did get some exercise in Bedwell harbor yesterday. After clearing customs we anchored by the shoreline and paddled the dingy to shore where we enjoyed hiking along a spectacular trail that ran along the shoreline for a mile or so before petering out where bluffs made passage by foot impossible. It was so good to get out and stretch the lungs.
