Come Again?

June 26
Round trip to airport took only three hours. Won't go into nettlesome detail (which included sorting problem out just after departure time... maybe), mainly due my fault aided by unique Air France procedures, but have switched allegiance to Air Tahiti Nui for tonight's standby attempt. Fortuitously returned to find two needed snatch blocks at morning's flea market and fix bilge pump. So pleased, now, that boat will sink with dead batteries (see previous).
Rather than a preparatory nap, have decided to go out carousing with Inspiration Ladys before 2330 flight. Coach in an Airbus 340 is not too bad, so expect arrival in Tampa after midnight Sunday fresh as a daisy.
Looking forward to visit home, but anticipate being busier than a one armed paper hanger for duration. Return to Tahiti will attend parts and parcels for six boats. May have reprise of Panama with twin fifty pound Samsonites.
Daily nonsense will recommence, possibly, in a week or so if Independence Day weekend flights are not sardined.
