I’ve arrived in Bimini. The passage over was actually really nice. Waves weren’t too bad, winds were perfect. Sailed the whole way here which was amazing.
Got here and went to go check in. Took the dinghy the 1.5 miles to where I needed to go. Got there and it died on me again…
Went and checked in, which was super easy and I got my 90 day visa.
Came back to dinghy and it wouldn’t start. So I asked the dock if they knew anyone that could come fix it. they called some guy and he said he’d been here in 30 minutes. Well I wanted over an hour and no fucking show. Was super annoyed. I wanted to get here, check in and then take astra for a walk along the city, get a nice dinner, have a drink. Relax! But no, fucking dinghy had to cause problems.
So I got it working well enough that I could get back to then boat. I’ve now spent ALL FUCKING day today working on the damn thing. Replaced the carb, replaced the spark plugs, broke the pull string so had to fix that which was another disaster. I’m just so fucking over shit not working right. I know boat life is just “always doing projects” but fuck this. I want a dinghy that WORKS CORRECTLY. I have to rely on it to get to and from shore. It’s my daily commuter car.
Just so frustrated. I just want to have fun.. I want to enjoy this time here instead now I’m stressing over the damn dinghy. And I feel bad for astra cause she wants to go ashore, as do I.
In other news, a fucking speed boat went past me as I was putting dishes away, causing ALL MY FUCKING pottery bowls that I made with kellie to fall out of the cabinet and break everywhere. Fucking pissed about the as well.
Then Charles, I’m annoyed that he doesn’t pick up the phone and just say “hey, how are you” or text me or anything like that. Like we’re supposed to be friends, you’re supposed to care about me, But not a peep
I just feel isolated. I want to just go home to my friends. I want to cuddle with someone for the night. I want to have someone here to share this experience with. I want someone to help make those hard decisions. Someone to bounce ideas off.
What the fuck am I doing here.
