I have been fortunate to get some work here. There is a daily 'cruisers net' each am at 9:00. That is a time when everyone gathers around their VHF radios and meets on the air. They meet and greet, and trade info and needs. A couple from England needed some work on their boat bottom and I offered my services. It has worked out well. They needed the bottom of their boat stripped to the gelcoat, then coated with epoxy, and painted. If anyone has done this they know what a difficult, grueling, grimy, and nasty job this is. It took the two of us 8 days to get it from the water to painted ready for the new bottom paint. They have been treating me very well, and are kind, pleasant and appreciative. I have been doing almost nothing but working on the boat and coming home exhausted and doing it again. (Continued...)

By "we" I mean the kids and I. Bill is just back from sailing from Ponce to Florida aboard Wanderlust. He and his crew of three left Ponce, Puerto Rico on the 20th of April. They made a brief stop in Luperon, and have now returned to mainland USA. We have been settling in. It feels remarkably normal. (Continued...)
