Perched on a weathered teak chair at a weathered teak table table outside of Hotel de Haro, the internet connection labored at a weathered pace. Finally the UPS site opened. I entered the tracking number and waited. Great Waters on the east coast has estimated a there day delivery when the order was placed on Tuesday. It was now Friday and i hoped the tracker would show arrival today. The activity bar seemed frozen at 80% complete. Finally the screen blinked to refresh and revealed my answer. Tuesday the 21st, or as they put it, only 2 more business days. Translated, that would be 5 days island time. Meanwhile looks like an opportunity to cruise locally. Revised plan - ride the afternoon flood to Sucia, then in a couple days maybe come back and drop the hook in Reid Harbor on Stuart. A short hop over to Roche on Tuesday and then on to Canadian waters.
Of course all subject to the nuances of mail delivery on the island. Usually the mail is delivered in the afternoon…unless it isn't. Typically there are no weekend deliveries except when there are. Gotta love it - this was one of those islands that still embracing island time.
