Aug. 19th - SYC Garden Bay

This morning it was 59' when we got up.  My pedicure appt. was at 10:30 so we left at 10:00 to be there 10 min. early to fill out some paperwork.  You had your choice of water with cucumbers or a tea called Joy Tea made locally.  I had the latter.  It had the following ingredients in it:  chamomile, peppermint, lemon balm, hawthorn, hibiscus, rose petals, lavender & anise.  It was quite good - I drank 3 cups of it while I was there.

I had a great pedicure - my feet were very happy & I picked a sparkly orange color for my polish.  Thought it was fitting for boating!  They had a very nice outdoor part of the spa with a jacuzzi, sauna, small pool & waterfalls - very relaxing.  I sat there after my pedicure so my toes would dry.  Had Rod come about 45 minutes after my treatment.  

Rod took a friend (past SYC Commodore, Chris Warner) over to Hospital Bay in the dinghy to pick up his wife who flew home for a few days & came & went by float plane.  They left about 3:30 & were back by 4:00 as the plane was a little early.  The wind picked up this afternoon & there were white caps out in the bay when they came back.  Got up to just over 11 knots at the outstation.

It got up to 81' today - another warm one.  Tonight we had Bloody Mary's & corned beef hash with eggs again.  Had planned that for breakfast before I made my spa appt.
