Alders Cay

There's a cold front coming through in the next day or so, so we've found a beautiful anchorage to hole up in. Alders Cay is a 'private enclave', but you can anchor of some bits of it (or at least no one has come out to tell us we can't be anchored here). Looks like there are three houses, loads of palm trees and some very white sandy beaches. We'll stay here until Tuesday-ish when the weather should be more appropriate for a move.

Made some chili in preparation for a bit of wind and cold weather, always nice to have a hot meal to hand when the boat is bouncing around:

Boat Chili

1 large onion
1 large green pepper
6 cloves of garlic
1/2 lb minced beef / hamburger
1 can white beans (Great Northern or similar)
1 can black eyed peas (or small white beans)
1 can of chopped tomatoes
1 small can of tomato paste
1-2 teasp Old Bay Seasoning (and / or blackened seasoning)
1/2 teasp Cayenne pepper
Black pepper
Sea salt
1/2 teasp Hungarian paprika (the hot stuff)
In olive oil, saute onion, green pepper and garlic until tender. Stir in spices. Add hamburger and saute until cooked through. Stir in both cans of beans, tomatoes and tomato paste. Turn down heat and let furgle for 15 minutes or so. Check taste and add spices, if necessary. (Steve thinks we should enter this in Madge and Brian's Chili Cook Off!)
