The church law and local custom here dictates that Sunday is a day of rest and worship. Operation of any mechanical equipment or doing work of any kind is strictly forbidden. This includes visitors and residents alike. I broke the law and worked on my windvane autopilot for most of the day but was not within sight of the village so I don't think it counts. For my penance though, I will voluntarily take two days off work next week.
For dinner I make up a batch of brother Jim's Gut Wrenching Bean Soup and served it up to Mike and his fishing guide Ba'a. They enjoyed it very much but I find I am reaching for the Pepto Bismol. Must have eaten too much.
