Today we spent the day aboard.  This morning we got a few administrative tasks and boat chores out of the way, including running the watermaker to take advantage of the clear water here. Then, while Elaine started work on our next website article and baked a banana loaf, Roy got to work on our wind generator, again. Armed with an orbital sander and a hacksaw, he modified the wind turbine blades after a 30 minute crash course in turbine areodynamics, thanks to google, and our "pig" is no longer a "pig"! Not only is it generating electricity to supplement our solar energy, it is now running much quieter and there are no more vibrations. His tenacity eventually paid off.

By then it was time for a late after swim, which included a few exercise laps around Paw Paw for Elaine.  However,  we had no sooner got out of the water,  dried ourselves off, when Elaine spotted one of the venomous black and white Fijian water snakes swimming along the surface at Paw Paw's starboard hull. Not sure we'll be getting back in this water again!
