Washing the car

There's nothing terribly special or particularly interesting in this blog, unless you're curious about, well, just plain everyday life on board, like Jim washing the car up there.


There's heating water...



Gardening...



Watching the pets play in the garden...

(Can you see the tiny gecko slurping orchid nectar?)


Grocery shopping...

(Those bright orange plastic bags cost 1 Solomon dollar, about 13 US cents, at the Gizo market)


Doing laundry...

(Sheets drying on the sheets. For all you non-sailors, "sheets" are also lines that control the sails)


Getting a haircut...

(That's Lisa at work on her deck in Peava)


And the eternal question of everyday life: What's for dinner?

(This time, it was easily answered thanks to a villager who delivered that monster crab!)
