Spent the day yesterday doing shipwork like sanding and painting, all of which can be done one handed
We also loosed all the square sails so they could dry. Unfortunately I couldn’t go aloft to help. Bruce did
however which was a first for him and I have a photo to prove it!



This morning we had to hoist the anchor and motor a little further out to give the anchor a better grip on
the steep side of this island. We are now anchored in about 100′ of water and almost the same distance
from the shore. Nothing like a little anchor work after breakfast to start the day off on the right foot!

I’m thinking of spending the day fairly quietly today and will join a bunch of people heading into the hills
tomorrow. We will be going to the boiling lake and the “valley of desolation” the most recently active area
of this volcanic island.

More later…
