Finally, last day at jolly harbour. Bought almost 100 gallons of diesel, another 300 litres of drinking water. We moved the ship closer to the shop and the fuel dock.
Shopping in the supermarket here (Epicurean, Fine foods) has been an experience, and today was no exception. We bought 43 five litres of water. They were in one layer in four shopping trolleys. But the lady at the counter was, as usual, not sure we were able to count. So all 43 bottles had to go on the counter.
When she had counted to around 30 she lost track, and stopped. She was going to start again, but choose, thank God, to trust us and put 43 bottles on the receipt.
Fine, now two security people was waiting 3 metres from the counter.
We had two huge trolleys (see photo) with 21 in one and 22 in the other.
After five minutes of counting they had to ask the information desk to help. 21+22?
They got the answer, and removed one of our bottles... ???
After another look at the receipt, and then another count, we got the bottle back. Now a third security man was helping. Patience was really necessary, but not easy, and we were so glad this was our last visit to their shop.
Our Canadian neighbours gave us toys, rice, empty water bootles and milk powder. Very nice of them. They were still working on their new engine, and were hoping to be able to leave Saturday.
Our last night in Jolly harbour was spend at a restaurant.
Before this I went to the Marina facilities, and had a warm shower - my first one for over a month.
Leaving for Guadeloupe at 6 tomorrow, so I'm of to bed!
