We had a very productive day today in more ways than one. We decided to head ashore early for breakfast at Trader's Café and then do our exercise walk. That allowed us to have the rest of the day onboard to get through a number of chores. 

While Roy gave the oven and stove top a detail cleaning and then replaced the bungies on the shrouds, Elaine got busy with step one of her sewing activities. She made eight dinghy handle covers as they are getting destroyed by the sun, repaired our one lifering cover that got ripped off the lifelines on our passage from New Zealand and then repaired our waterproof bag for the dinghy as it too has incurred sun damaged.

Then it was time to "play" in the water. While Roy cleaned the saildrives and gave Paw Paw's bottom a quick clean, Elaine reached a number of milestones, all of which she has been unable to do since we left Fiji in October last year. She paddleboarded around Paw Paw twice on her knees, then she managed to stand up on the paddleboard without falling off and, finally, she was able to use the swim ladder without assistance to get back onto Paw Paw. Add the fact that she also reached her 8000 steps per day target and, it's fair to say, she is delighted with her achievements. Life just may be returning to normal on Paw Paw at last!
