I woke up at 5am and watched the sunrise. Once Shaun woke up, we gathered our laundry, water jugs, chargeable electronics and gas can. My little sister Amy came to hang out with us for the day and to help run a few errands before we check out the carnival and party on the boat. We plugged our bluetooth speakers, vacuum battery and cell phone batteries into an outdoor socket at the bath house where we left them to charge for a few hours. Once Amy arrived, we found a laundromat on the other side of the harbor by the carnival and were able to do a couple loads there! The Scitiuate Harbormaster let us use their hose to refill our 3 water jugs, totaling 15 gallons. Amy took us to refill our gas can and the small propane tank that we use for cooking. After we finished all of this business we went to Five Guys in Hingham for lunch. Things like sitting down for a restaurant meal suddenly feel different. I notice a new feeling of gratitude toward each individual person that has aided in serving me and have a new patience and understanding for what it means to be taken care of in that way. In a place that I normally wouldn’t, I took the extra time to thoroughly wipe down our table and push in the chairs. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always had good manners but this felt more intentional than ever. This adventure has afforded me the time to be more focused on my intentions. We all had a blast, and drank way too much once we got back to the boat. As is customary, we set Amy up inside the cabin and Shaun and I slept on the bow.
