After a very calm, windless night we were up early, but decided to spend the day on board. While Roy lounged around as "deck fluff" for most of the day, Elaine got started on step two of her sewing activities - Making the mosquito net that will enclose Paw Paw's entire cockpit area, in preparation for our stay in Vanuatu.  This is something we have been meaning to do since moving onto Paw Paw, but the risk of malaria, albeit low during the dry season, became a great motivator.

Roy did manage to muster up the energy this afternoon to go paddleboarding on the lovely calm waters and Elaine also managed to squeeze in her strengthening exercises as well as enjoy a video call to friends in the UK.

As the day wore on though, and with the start of the ICA Rally to Vanuatu scheduled for Friday, we ended up on "numpty parade". In an already very crowded anchorage, we had the usual fools who thought it was perfectly alright to try and squeeze in and end up on top of the other yachts already anchored. Needless to say there was more than one "numpty" who received the "teapot treatment" from Elaine, resulting in the desired effect of them shuttling off to try their luck with another yacht.

Tonight, however, under a beautiful full moon, reflecting of the glass-like water, with singing from a local choir ashore drifting across the air, a wonderful peacefulness has settled across the anchorage and all seems right with the world or, at least, in our floating village.
