Up and about somewhat slow today, breakfast, the net, laundry and waiting for people to come by the boat. Mike about the sails and hardware, no show. Cat about the prize for the decorations, no show. Someone to work on engine RPM indication, no show. A couple for dinner, no show (they were an interesting couple. He is the captain, and she was crew. They were together from South Carolina through the Panama Canal (8 months), then took a break for hurricane season and had been back together for a bit. In any case, her tenant back in Canada moved out unexpectedly, resulting is a loss of income. So, she had to change and found a job as crew in the Bahamas that pays and is very light work. They broke up today, so they did not come over.
Reneé has been dealing with an issue with her email, all the messages disappeared. Her email is 4scheuer@gmail.com and she does almost everything on her iPhone and a bit on her iPad. There was a recent update to the IOS, and we thought perhaps that had something to do with it. So, she called Apple support, and they were no help, pointing out that they don’t help with third party software. Then she called Google support, the difference between the two was significant, with Apple, the support person was on the phone within minutes of starting the call, they did not help (two times) but they were right there and stayed as long as they were making progress. The Google support person was the better part of an hour from starting the call to talking to a human being. They were ready to get off the phone as soon as possible. Oh and yes they blamed Apple. One even told her just install the app and then you can do a recovery from inside the app, and “You got this, I have faith in you”.
We got a text from Steve Pepper asking about New Year’s Eve plans and suggested we get together. So, we walked into town and checked a couple places to figure out where we would go, deciding on the Treehouse. Then we headed back to the boat.
Reneé called Apple back and again was connected to a person within a minute or two, and this person suggested looking in the trash with a non IOS device. We could not see anything in the trash from her iPad or iPhone, but on a pc (yes we have one) and on the Mac we could see the messages in the trash, all 126,034 of them. Yes that is a pretty big number. Somehow, Reneé managed to delete everything, Now she has to figure out how to get them back into their appropriate folders.
At least the day ended on a positive note. Finally off to bed.
