It Only Takes One

The mozzies were after us last night! After going to bed at 10:30pm I awoke at 12:30 to the sound of a mosquito buzzing in my ear. At 2:30am Mike awoke and joined me in the hunt. It’s the middle of the night and we’re lying there wide eyed with the light on trying to kill a tiny little mosquito. But we got the sucker(!) and then attempted to drift back to sleep. It was fitful after that but we managed to stay in bed until 9am which is kinda late for us, well for Mike that is. We were then off to town for another day of errands. The day was successful in getting many of the things we needed…including some Velcro to help improve the effectiveness of our mosquito screen! When we got home we had a visit from Ishmail, our “family carpenter”, who dropped off our new cockpit table! It’s beautiful and we can’t wait until the boat is in a place where we can put it up. In the summer we always eat outside because the cabin gets way too hot. It will be nice not to have to eat on our laps, it makes us feel a bit more civilized. We also got some trim for our windows (And guess what? All 44 pieces need to be varnished!). I continued work on the head and Mike got some epoxy putty on the plate he welded which was all followed by beer and peanuts in the cockpit. Another dinner of beans, the Turkish version of Nutella for dessert and LOTR then off to bed with hopes of sleep….hopefully the Tylenol PM will help with that.
