I spend most of the morning lazing around in bed catching up with the blog and using Skype. The others, however, are much more active. John scrubs one of the hulls above the water line while Mike goes below with his Hooka (!) to scrub the propellers. That’s his story anyway. Carole isn’t particularly active, just more so than me. She gets in the water with a noodle and just floats around hanging onto the ladder to stop her zooming backwards at breakneck speed – there’s quite a current here today.
In the afternoon, the wind picks up and a whole system of squalls closes in. We were going to head out for an overnight sail to Huahine, a distance of about 100 miles, but looking at both the weather forecast and the sky, Mike decides against it, and heads off for an afternoon kip. I must admit I’m glad we are not going today as I still feel a bit rough, although much better than yesterday.
As the rain pours down with each squall that passes, I prepare tonight’s dinner and watch a film with Carole and John. What an exciting life we lead some days as can be seen from the photo!

The sunset is more exciting, but some days have to be spent just slobbing.
