Today all of the hard work that we have been doing on the sail, out in the intense sun, caught up with me. Coupled that with the "heavy on the fresh veggies and fruits and light on the carbohydrates and fats" diets that we are on, I feel exhausted. OK, maybe an itty, bitty, tiny fraction of the exhaustion is also old age creeping in. Naw, that can't be it. We are as old as we think, not as old as we feel and I only think positive thoughts. I am still only 20 years old in my mind, even though my body is constantly disputing that thought!

Anyway, I worked only at about 30% of my usually level today and did not accomplish very much. If I had been smart, I would have just stayed inside and rested all day. I actually believe that I am just feeling the effects of too much sun since I did not use any sunscreen yesterday and did not wear a hat. How stupid is that!

Tomorrow, we are renting a car and going back into town. We need to start our serious provisioning for this upcoming cruising season. Since we are going to be in Indonesia and Malaysia, there are certain things that are best bought here in Australia. We could wait until we get to Darwin but we understand that things are so much more expensive up there and there will be lots of other cruisers stocking up there. Thus, for the longer term provisions and basics, we are going to load up here.
