Comment: It’s laundry day. Anna Marie got a late start as she waited for the conclusion of the net before gathering the clothes. We made it to the dinghy dock by 1300 hours after a slow dinghy ride in the windy conditions.

I returned to the boat and, instead of doing boat chores, I used the time to read. I’m working on my fourth Cornwell book in the Richard Sharpe series. Cornwell fancies Richard Sharpe to be the equivalent of Forester’s naval hero, Horatio Hornblower. I’ve been unable to find any of the Hornblower books new or used.

I picked Anna Marie up at the dinghy dock at about 1715 and we were back aboard at 1745. It was so cold that rather than go back ashore to the movies, we decided to stay aboard for the evening.
