Up the mast

More preparations underway. Martin went up the mast to free the topping lift and re-rig the lazy jacks between rain storms today.

I love our pressure cooker. This little charmer makes a great risotto in 6 minutes. Our first lid rusted out so GSI sent us a new one, gratis, awesome customer service.

Local high school kids painted this mural last year in Kaeo.

The latest addition to our toy collection. It's a spear gun, donated by some great friends on a boat called Tayrona (http://errantries.com/). We met Pete & Miranda way back in Panama. Now they are sailing on to Australia and putting their catamaran up for sale. Just the start of another adventure for these two!
