Another Day of Chores and Errands, Plus Dinner on the Malecon

Sunday (January 8) was a mellow day. We went out around 10:30 to search for the whale museum. This time we found it, only a few thousand feet north of where we’d turned around yesterday. Sigh.

Sur le bateau, c’est amusant d’aller à un ancrage et de se relocaliser quand tu veux. Mais le bateau a un espace limité. Sauf si tu es dans une Marina, sinon tu dois prendre le canot pour aller sur le meilleur endroit le plus proche sur terre.
