Buy alum can insulators (2). Walk on beach to West End. Photo with tire under plam. Garrett + John came to meet Benson with new sail. Buy tank top + necklace. Happy Hour at Paradise Club with shrimp kabobs. Rum punch. Dinghy back to sailboat.

6pm Continue drinking: Rum + Diet Coke. Sit on front of boat alone, sippling slowly + enjoying the night view of lights reflecting on the water, the nautical sounds, the smell of other boats cooking, and the Caribbean music we're playing. What a DELIGHT. Help with the grill. Another rum + Coke, and I'm taking no precautions to measure or control the rum.

Wonderful dinner: pork chop with mushrooms + broccoli made by John + Garrett. Chat with others while. Drink a little more, and Mike tells me I need to stop. Talk with John after others go to bed.

[side note] Pussers + Coke is better than Myers Rum + Coke. [/side note]

9:30 Go to bed.

I wake up and realize things.
1) Stay away from drinks that have juice like the rum punch and "painkillers" we had at Happy Hour because those are so glycemic and make me tired + hungry soon after. They're also fattening. I could've had light beer.

2) I should avoid Diet Coke during the day cuz its caffeine creates an edge that I need to remove with alcohol later. That can become addictive too!
