Absolutely bucketed down for a couple of hours during the night last night, we are looking at having a rain catcher made up so we can catch some of it. We are running the water maker every few days but is uses a bit of power and because the days are generally overcast our solar panels aren't keeping up with our usage so having to either run the engine or the Honda generator every couple of days. Nothing exciting to report today, looking forward to getting back out to the San Blas Islands in a few days. Its a bit quiet without Terry and Laine from Virgos Child, haven't seen an Aussie boat for a week or more. The Backgammon contest continues each evening before dinner. Fairly even although John has trounced me a couple nights.
There's a beautiful breeze at the moment and no bugs (they call them noseeums because you can't see them). Sausages on the BBQ tonight and hopefully not as much rock and roll from the swell for a peaceful nights sleep.
