At "Member's Only": Jessie James!

Errand day. We zip around the bay, from shipyard to shipyard, chandleries, electronics, whatever, in the dinghy. A sort of industrial-Venice feeling.

An important stop is at "Member's Only". That's where Jessie James hangs out. Besides running the fast and frequent maxi-taxi transportation here, he has a 24 event list of carneval activities to choose from. We let him organize us. We'll be a group of six and we're happy to have security, transportation and tickets taken care of. No problem for Jessie, wife and co. Surprisingly, we haven't found any carneval coordination for the guests at some of the big centrally located hotels here.

Good-by hand steering while motoring! We've ordered a replacement for our now worn-out and retired autopilot. (that event was mid-atlantic!) A new autohelm,4000 is now on its way from the usa.
Right down the walkway I found a hairdressers. New corn-rows! This time the plaiting just to hairband height. And a haircut. No more hair-in-the-eyes just as I'm steering clear of a fishing bouy.

And this hairwash and our shower later today at Peake's were our first real, indoor, non-boat shower since the Canaries. To be exact, S.Sebastian, La Gomera, the day we left, 13th of November. Three months ago!
