Yesterday we woke up to more rain, so Roy took advantage of all the fresh water and washed the deck as well as give both engines a freshwater rinse, while Elaine collected rainwater to wash the cockpit and helm station areas today. Before that could be done, though, all our fenders and stem anchor rode had to be stowed again, now that we don't have any boats bumping into us.

We both nearly got a good soaking of a different kind, however, after we were almost tipped out of our dinghy yesterday by a number of powerboaters, the majority of whom are completely clueless and have total disregard for anyone on the water but themselves. This is not the first time this has occurred and we've spent many a day watching the same thing happen to various canoeists and rowers alike.

Nonetheless, Elaine enjoyed a fabulous afternoon and an absolutely delicious meal celebrating Angie's birthday with her, her mom and a lovely group of friends at the Ofous Moroccan restaurant at The Spit, while Roy enjoyed drinks with Terence at the North Club in Crows Nest, after which we both enjoyed a late afternoon coffee at Chiosco by Ormeggio before heading back to Paw Paw.

Today, after our cleaning activities were completed, we eventually uploaded our photographs to our website Gallery from Vanuatu and New Caledonia. It took a little longer than expected as we decided to automate the process, as cataloguing all our photographs was becoming a full-time job for Elaine, nevermind trying to find the time to write the daily blog and the website articles.

With a return to beautiful blue skies and warm, sunny weather, we enjoyed another barbecue aboard this evening and caught up with the family in Arizona while they enjoyed Superbowl Sunday with friends.
