Fred has some errands to do and I am going up to the medical clinic to get some prescriptions refilled. It’s raining lightly but we carry on. They have a pretty neat system at the clinic. Walk in patients pay a $75 and one sees an MD. The MD I saw today walked in, did not introduce himself and muttered something about a medical student there. The MD pulled a prescription pad and asked “what do you want?” He didn’t even take a history. Well, I got what I needed and headed down the hill to the pharmacy. We have to stay another day to wait for the meds to come in. It is illegal to mail prescriptions from one country to another so my regular mail order medicines will just stack up at home. Because we are gone more than 3 months we need this refill mid trip. We had a treat this afternoon; Lady M came in to dock. She is a 164 foot mega yacht that we had seen in the Broughton’s. While we had dial tone, Fred took advantage of it and got the %$#@ Oceans e mail to work, so now, when we have “space phone” service, ie Globalstar phone service we can send and receive e mails. He also got the weather station to work. It had gone south several days ago after working flawlessly all winter. The thing is a Davis unit made in San Leandro, just a phone call away.
