Very Trying

Monday 14 September 2015
Motored into Riung yesterday afternoon so Jan could go to market this morning. We were getting short on eggs and that just wouldn't do. Looks like today's festivities will be 1) rather informal and laid back, 2) not starting until 1600 and 3) within sight of escape pod (dink). Also, as opposed to last 2 spots, anchorage is protected and comfortable so we're giving it another shot. We will, however, eat before going in to preclude necessity of waiting for standard "gala dinner" time of 2100. Only problem is that some of crew is still hacking up hairballs, feeling like a steaming pile of bat guano. Not to worry. Drugs and alcohol are a little appreciated combination that will no doubt help. "Better living through chemistry." Besides, if there is a contributing bacterium, antibiotics are due to kick in about now.
