Up at 7 am, listened to the net, had breakfast, did our bible reading, and got organized. Reneé is going to a get together at Iris and Bob’s and we are taking the laundry in to get washed and folded.
A week’s worth of laundry for us cost about 370 pesos ($18). We debated waiting until Saturday when we will be in Paradise Village, but it would be about $12 more for the same service, and we have to bring the soap.
This meant we get the dinghy down and outboard mounted, then load all the laundry and cart into it, then head into the dock. This all took about 45 minutes to an hour. Then walk to the laundry. At this point Reneé walked up to the bus stop and I took the cart back to the dinghy and back to the boat. I was working on my lunch at 1150. So, the morning activity from time we were done with breakfast until I was back on the boat was about 2 1/2 hours. Of course, I have to mention, I dropped my reading glasses between the dinghy and the dock. We haven’t been back to the boat a month and two pair down. One I sat on, the other went swimming.
After lunch I went through the forward starboard space. This is behind the settee, and down. It has the most expensive spare parts. The value I put down is my estimate of what they are worth.

Now, I am back to just working on getting better. I will meet Reneé at the laundry at 5.
On the way into the marina, I saw a whale, so I stopped my dinghy, got out my phone and took a video of it. Unfortunately, the site I use for the blog doesn’t do video well. So, it’s on facebook. If you don’t see it and want to, send me a message, I will send it to you separately.
We were early for the laundry, so we sat in the park for about 15 minutes. Got the laundry and then back to the boat.
After cleaning up, and putting away we had dinner and showers then watched a movie.
The base for the movie was very good, THE MINISTRY OF UNGENTLEMANLY WARFARE, but 1/2 the actors phoned in their parts, or were just stereotypical cardboard cutouts. The CG was way below expectations. Etc. this movie was basically THE basis of all the James Bond books and movies. Ian Fleming was one of the characters, and he based James on the leader of the rest of the cast. The potential for a really good movie was there and thrown away. IMDB score 6.8 so, maybe it’s just me.
Finally bed.
