July 4th

Yesterday we realized it was going to be July 4th. So Ann got the dock interested in a BBQ party. Starting at 1700 we all gathered in front of Charisma for a July 4th BBQ complete with hot dogs and potato salad. We had Americans, Germans, Polish (the French were invited by were “unable to attend”) and the Italians had to leave early. Quite an international party.

Other than that, the highlight today was getting a custom sized paddleboard paddle for Ann. The one that came with our board is way too short and she is showing a strong aptitude for paddling so we bought a new one that is being custom sized. We pick it up tomorrow.

In the morning we’re meeting up with Orcinius and maybe Steve from Desolina and taking the dinghies about 45 minutes down the way to go snorkeling in a spot called the “Aquarium”. Hopefully it lives up to its name.
