Lazy Day

A delightfully lazy day, and a happy one too as Lochy slept for a full 14 hours and had his roast chicken dinner from the night before, followed by weetabix! We did some school (on a Sunday, I know!) but that means we can have Monday off. We couldn't really officially go ashore as customs isn't open, so that gave us the perfect excuse to stay on the boat; dodging the insulation that Mark has out whilst he repairs the fridge. He has discovered that the thermostat had a dodgy connection and now he has cleaned it up, the fridge does go off and on, so maybe we won't need something new after all, but we are still adding another layer of insulation and making the fridge a top opener to save on the juice.
Kids enjoyed painting, drawing, reading and snorkelling. I caught up on the laundry! For some reason, our lovely Duogen wind/tow generator has started to make a noise whereas previously it was really quiet, so that's Mark's next project - a skipper's work is never done!
We enjoyed a visit from the boat boys selling all sorts of fruit. Unfortunately, we had already stocked up on some fruit before we left Martinique, so we just chose some wax apples to try - which the kids loved - alledgedly!
