What good food they serve at this restaurant: more fresh sashimi tuna to start then lamb stew over rice, and what a view! We take turns making meals and washing up. There's no schedule. The weather turned especially beautiful yesterday. It was laundry day on the boat and you should have seen all the clothes on lines flying in the breeze as we sailed along, no one to make fun of the way we looked. Suddenly we noticed a big rain squall heading our way so the final drying would have to wait and the soap and shampoo came out. Time for an outdoor rain shower for all. Funny thing is, as soon as we were fully soaped up the rain suddenly quit! Luckily Adam's rain catchment system had gathered about 5 gallons of that glorious stuff from the sky and we finished our clean up. Most current forecast shows easy sailing weather for many days ahead. It's hot down here though, and I'm sorry Joanne I got a little sunburned yesterday. Learned my lesson and slathered on the sunscreen today. Pod of dolphins came to the boat yesterday and just a little while ago some whales of unknown type passed nearby.These are highlights in our day as the sea birds and shooting stars have been our only other companions. Until tomorrow, Paul
