I haven’t been able to get onto the internet today. Al said they had
no problem this morning but had a problem last night when we were on. Ah well…
We waved them off as they headed north over to Leverick Bay.
Wayne hosed down the deck and filled the water tank. I visited the
grocery store for juice and cereal and I guess I missed Morgan Freeman as he
pulled in. Wayne noticed his lady friend before him as she was up and down the
dock then Morgan joined her and they disappeared somewhere. I took the
opportunity to try and snap a picture of his boat. It’s definitely pretty. Next
– dump off trash and get some fuel.

I wandered to the restaurant to see if I could get internet there to
pay bills. Guess I’d better go back so I can make sure the directions I gave to
Steph about catching the ferry here is correct.
Talked to the marina and they called Speedy’s for me. There’s a shuttle
that will take her from the airport to the ferry landing where there’s a bench
for her to wait at to catch the ferry.
She’s in for a long day yeow.
Got a text from Steph from P.R. and she thought she was going to miss
her flight. She ended up having to check her bag because of the adhesive for
the port gaskets. We hadn’t even thought of that. It’s a liquid and over 3
ounces. We texted back and forth and Cape Air held up their flight so she could
make the flight over to Beef Island. Whew… She called a couple of times but my phone
never rang. Then we texted and talked briefly. She was at Beef Island sitting
on the bench waiting for the ferry. We walked over to the ferry dock on Virgin
Gorda to meet her. The waves and surge were breaking over the reef and some of
the fish here that hang out by the dock are huge! Wayne watched a water bird at
the water’s edge and I went out to the end of the dock. So I was standing under
a bright light on the dock on Virgin Gorda and she was sitting under a bright
light on Tortola… I watched a freighter coming into the landing and Speedy’s
ferry was right behind it. That was the one she was on. We were texting each
other as she came into view on the ferry.
Do I catch a taxi? Yep taxi is here now… we waved at her as I finished
my text to her.
She made it but her carry-on did not. We’ll have to pick it up tomorrow
at the ferry dock when it comes in. It is just sooooo good to have her here
with us. Midnight o clock approaches.
Good night…
