Wednesday October 27

 

This morning it looked like it was going to rain. I finished my solo walk and we packed our rain jackets in my pack and set out. Because it was overcast he sun wasn’t blinding us as we walked along the coastline.

Pretty. We walked down by our swimming place where the cruise ships dock and while sitting there taking turns to use the bathroom all these buses gathered out where the ships dock.

I counted 9 grandma said there were 11. Just then I noticed a cruise ship coming in. There is a harbor there the ships enter protected by a large rock barrier. The only problem was the ship wasn’t going to make the entrance but instead was headed for the rocks. We headed for higher ground to watch. Somewhere in there the people in charge of the ship realized the problem and put her in reverse. The water was shooting up behind the ship but it kept going forward. I noticed now I wasn’t the only one aware of what was happening. The ship slowly stopped and turned away from the rocks. 

There is this little tugboat looking boat that has pilot in big letters painted on it and it came hurrying out but a little late. Meanwhile these ships take a bit of room to turn around. Even more than my white truck. So it has circled out in the ocean and all stop. The buses all left and we didn’t see the ship at dock for several hours. Someone probably was in trouble over this one. We were down there to visit a family but after talking for a little he got upset and we left. We stopped at farmers market for hamburger and stopped at the health food store for some vitamins. We went home in rain falling slowly most of the way. We ate and visited a nice member who struggles with reading and wants to bear her testimony. Grandma had prepared a simple lesson using a glove to learn how and what to bear testimony of. She did a great job. We  had our weekly activity tonight it was fun. It had rained all day at times so hard with the wind that visibility was almost zero. November is the month with the most rain so suck it up buttercup. 

This was a good day.
