Saying my good-byes too soon


I worked around the boat for awhile in the morning. In the afternoon I went in to town for what I thought would be my last day in Salt Pond for awhile. I went by the tourism office, thanked everyone, and checked my email.





I walked up the road to where I'd promised the pastor's mom and grandma I'd come up and visit. I sat out under the tree where she plaits, and she showed me the strips of many different patterns that she sells to someone in Nassau, where they are sewn into purses, baskets, hats, and a variety of things.





I decided the plane bringing my Good Samaritan with the insulin pump must be running late. After returning to the boat, feeding Mercy dog, and taking her to the beach, I texted the fellow, and found out he'd changed plans to return on Saturday.





Guess I'll be in Salt Pond for a couple of more days.
