Dear Gilles.
I just need a down day.
We all took a break from all electronics until 3pm.
We're learning useful knots - today was bowline and clove hitch. Testing and review happens every day for all three of us.
We set up the 4-person Hotcore tent. Smaller than the 6-man dome for sure. But it will be warmer and more wind resistant when we need it. I needed to know that we were trained in setting it up (it took 6 minutes).
Luc and I walked to the fishing pond about 1 km away - just to give some separation between the brothers.
I replaced the windshield wiper that I had purchased in April, but just don't remember that it needs replacing when it's not raining. I fixed the old one - so we have a back up. The scraper part was separating from the frame - it had happened when it was frozen to the windshield back in March.
And we're just generally choosing to not do anything today except be still.
We have two more days of PEI. Potatoe Museum and all of the Anne of Green Gables sites.
It's Sunday - we have the option of a lobster supper tonight. But I bought some steak, potatoes and veg that I think will suit us better tonight. We're the only ones in the campground and we have access to a 'kitchen' with a stove. Our cast iron and pots have been working well for us - so I think we'll just 'eat in' tonight and maybe watch another movie.
It's not beautiful out - cloudy and threatening rain all day at +9C. We're safe and secure and content. Hard to believe it's day 73 and still the main attraction to go.
