Although the winds were really strong today and we heard that people were still unable to get around the Whale, we had a beautiful sunny day here in Green Turtle. We decided to run some errands and here´s how it went. On our way to donate some books to the lovely New Plymouth Library we stopped to talk to the people anchored beside us - turns out they´re Canadians (Newfoundland). While waiting for the library to open we chatted with a mom and her two little boys mailing postcards to grandma - there Canadians (Kingston). Next we dingied over to the Abaco Yacht Yard and started a conversation with a couple getting their boat hauled - they´re Canadian, Midland Ontario. At our next stop the Green Turtle Club Patio we start gabbing with a family of five on holiday - Canadian, from Niagara on the Lake. On our return from Argo we hear a knock on our hull and a fellow on another boat offers us a print-out of the weather forecast - you guessed it, he´s Canadian from Quebec. Like the song says ¨It´s a small world after all¨.
