New Island


Nice day, new island.  Had a campfire, burned our garbage, cooked hot dogs for lunch and marshmallows for dessert.  Began to rain, refilled our bathing water and laundry water - need to go wash clothes, but looking for the motivation. 
Bright and sunny again.  Nice swim this morning, kayaked to shore, saw a breaching whale in our same bay.  Put up some fish netting on our lifelines to make it easier to keep Valiant and Vitality on board if they slip.  Conjuring up a way to make our back cockpit more useful - put a shower on the back swim steps, make a water storage tank to collect the rain water, keep it dry in the cockpit so it's more of a livable space, etc.  Lots of great ideas, need time and energy to get them all done.  I also have a car stereo and marine speakers I want to get installed.  And run 120 power to our freezer so we don't have an extension cord running through 2 rooms for it. Overall good though.

Also, a guy came by this morning in a dug out wood canoe and sold Courage some plantains and a papaya, they are very green, will last us another week or so probably.  He came by later with 2 octopuses and some oysters.  We were less interested in those, but the kids played with the octopus some.

Made BBQ chicken pizzas last night, quite a luxury.  Making a loaf of bread pretty much every day also, which is going well.
