Well folks, September is fully upon us (actually it's almost October!)with the first day of fall and the wind has turned cold again so the ninja suit (aka ice breaker base layer) has made a reappearance, although the bottoms have yet to resurface... but soon.
This week was marked by the baking of about 10 apple pies! It is a pretty cool process to be able to sail to the island, pick the apples, row them back to the boat where they are peeled, cut and coated with sugar and then baked into delicious apple pies (dough from scratch of course!). We had an all girls school on this week and they definitely got into the idea of pie making and we were pretty enthused as well when the last night was marked by a variety of tasty apple pies and turnovers and even a "sack of gold." I like getting my hands into the galley every once in a while and Krystle graciously let me get myself covered in flour to head up the production line, although somehow I managed to escape peeling a single apple...thank you Tom Sawyer.
Three trips left, and looking forward to the change of pace that will come with the finale of this wonderful season.
Back out tomorrow, wish me dry and sunny skies, and fair winds of course!
