Usable Dinette
September 24
Neglected to mention huge leak, not located, that inundated saloon during sail from Niuatoputapu with at least two gallons of ocean. Suspect companionway hatch cover as only venue able to introduce that much water, but further research will be necessary. Water pooled beneath dinette, site of considerable storage, so new locations will henceforth be necessary to keep area open for observation. No clue where this might be, but having usable table again rather than decoration since third week of March will be a pleasing change.
As may not have escaped notice, last night was a major hoot, this morning somewhat less so. This is another of those activities in which one must occasionally engage as a reminder to never, ever do it again. Have now reached peak training condition for tomorrow night's Full Moon Party, so today will remain a contemplative day of rest. I'm tanned, rested and ready. Anyway it's children's day at the Regatta and psyche is not a kid friendly environment.
Due to massively negligible demand for this knowledge, far side of the world is now Niger.
