| Yes, that is my soggy SUNdress that’s getting all those extra freshwater rinses, courtesy of Mother Nature. When it’s dry, it’s time to wear it again! Maybe. |
Yes,
it rains in paradise, or, in this case, St. Thomas, which at this moment is my
least favorite Caribbean island to date.
It’s not even the rainy season.
And today Wayne didn’t even apply Cetol to prompt the rain (click here if you’re curious about that).
Yesterday’s
squalls led to rougher than usual water in our foray into Gregory Channel West,
thoroughly saltwater soaking us in our dinky dinghy.
We
warmed up with a hot freshwater shower, giving our clothes a rinse along with
us.
Then
we hung our clothes out to dry in our cockpit, not wanting to add any more
humidy to our already stuffy salon.
We realized our clothes would get a little more freshwater rinse before
the day was done. Today is day 2
of their freshwater rinse.
Will
they get a third rinse before they’re ready to return to what eventually will
be the dehumidified confines of our cozy salon? Dunno.
Someday,
we’ll have our water catchment system installed and this rain will be a
bounty. We’ll be using it instead
of our generator to refill our tanks when our solar sytem isn’t saving up for a
rainy day ‘cause the sun isn’t shining.
Meanwhile,
perspective and humor helps. Drip.
Drip. Drip.
Into each life a little rain shall fall! It's a pretty dress :) Ethereal
ReplyDeleteQuite a bit of late; literally. Thank goodness we have a generator to make up for when the dun don't shine.
ReplyDeleteWayne jokes about having a fling with the dress -- with or without me in it. Beats the heck out of "Why the heck did you buy that!?!" Wayne's a keeper;).
Awww bless him! He'd better know how to say the right thing to you in a tight space like that or he's in for merry hell. Ethereal
