Day 48, Tuesday, August 9, Shearwater

When I get home I am going to stand in a hot shower and let the water continuously run for as long as I want, or until the hot water runs out. Whichever comes first. I'm so tired of these water saver showers. (Get wet, turn off water, soap up, shampoo hair, shave parts, turn on water and rapidly rinse off)
Water is so scare up here I even heat up salt water to wash my dishes then rinse them in fresh water. As they say... Water water every where and not a drop to drink.
The other big issue is garbage, none of these little towns or islands are willing to take your trash, and the few that will take your garbage charge a fee. Up to $5.00 per bag. So any food waste goes overboard, anything that can be burned on shore is, it's the little conveniences that I miss.... Like water and dumpsters. And internet and phone service and even tv. Although I've never been much of a tv watcher, it was always going in the background, and I miss that.
We have been waiting for the store to open at one for a few groceries, then we will head down to Namu for some Halibut fishing.
I'm glad we are starting our journey home!
