Yesterday refueling 140 l diesel in MaRe’s tank and 20 l in a jerry can on the center bow comparent. The fuel station was only about 100-200 m from the dinghy dock. Pretty lucky. We only needed to runs forth and back.<\/p>\n
We are additionally lucky, because we can get water just 50 m from the dinghy dock south of MaRe. 1 gallon for 1 USD, which is cheaper than the other source for USD 1.50 \/ gallon. We can get it from the producer, who makes it by reverse osmosis. On Monday we start refilling the water tank.<\/p>\n
As for water, we found ways to collect rain water and do all possible with rain water. A pretty good way to save freshwater. The problem is only rain. It doesn’t rain that often.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, we walked about a kilometer down the street from the fuel station until the K&K supermarket, which sells not only food but also kitchen appliances. Food means also a lot of ready made food, which only needs to be heated up. Convenience for the price of eating a lot of chemicals needed to produce and preserve such food. But this food could be less draining the wallet than fresh food. Vegetables and fruits are pretty expansive. I assume that these are coming by plane from the US. Meat on the other side is comparably cheap possibly transported by ships. Tobi bought the most needed food.<\/p>\n
While walking down the street, I saw again all this convenience litter of mainly drink bottles made of plastic, but it’s not limited to that. Houses don’t use much solar panels but get electricity from a central supplier using diesel generators. This is the same as in French Polynesia but there is no convenience litter or at least very much less in French Polynesia.<\/p>\n
For lunch we had street food. Grilled pieces of meat and rice. There were also 2 pieces of another, much starch including vegetable sprinkled with coconut flakes. Taro maybe? And, 2 in thin plastic foils filled big table spoon volumes yellow and sweet paste. As stable food a big portion of rice. All in a disposable container with a plastic fork. Although the container marked as made of a starch and not plastic it’s a disposable item for convenience. So, quite some garbage was left over for burning.<\/p>\n
There were about 5 people working at the stand grilling the meat, filling the disposable containers with food and selling them. 1 box is USD 5.-. How many do they sell a day? 50? 100? It gives them a small income for a life in an expansive place.<\/p>\n
Once the fuel was in the tank, we took a break and had coffee and cinnamon rolls, which I could get at the fuel station. Delicious.<\/p>\n
Weather forecasts indicate wind for Thursday, so outbound clearance on Thursday and then lifting the hook.<\/p>\n
Today, Sunday, small boat jobs and emails… I love to write emails…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
