Up at 8:30 a.m. and discovered all the water is shut off. Using bottled water, so no problem for coffee. Lee and Carole went to iron clothes while Merv and I watched some hardy souls trying to sunbathe. Pretty cool!

No water in the units this a.m., so no showers. Told us they would try to get it running by noon; on which day we couldn't determine. We needed water to flush the toilets, so down to the pool with buckets in hand.

Went to lay by the pool in the afternoon, but it started to rain. So much for that. Meanwhile, the water came back on. Nice to take a hot bath. After the rain quit, the four of us went for a walk down to the beach. Not much happening, but pleasant anyway. Quiet evening and off to bed by 11:00 p.m.
