Sailing on Fortitude (July 18-23)

Most of the stores are closed on Sunday (Jul 18, 2004, 03:18pm) Towards the end of our short hike, Daphne realized that her sandals were chaffing her toe and needed to be replaced. The good news was that we were in Port Elizabeth, a tourist town with lots of stores. The bad news was that it was Sunday and every store was closed. Well, not every store. You can see open store in this picture, behind Daphne. But it didn't have any sandals that Daphne wanted. We actually got back from the hike a few minutes earlier than expected and had to wait for Jeremy to come pick us up in the dingy. With all the stores closed, all we could do was sit around and admire the scenery.

Using the barbeque on the sailboat (Jul 18, 2004, 06:15pm) Dinner that night was barbequed pork. Jeremy cooked the meat on this small barbeque grill attached to the side of the sailboat.

Sunset in Admiralty Bay (Jul 18, 2004, 06:36pm) This is the first in a series of sunset pictures. Every night on the sailboat, I took pictures of the setting sun. This picture (and the next) were sunset on our first night on Fortitude. Since we were on the leeward side of the island, the only thing between us and the horizon were other sailboats (and some annoying cloud banks).
