Sophrosyne: PS.

I was thinking that my note yesterday afternoon was a bit lame and that I should really try a bit more to give a sense of our life here? I was trying to see what it was like to post from the iPad which is our normal link to the Internet. It is not quite so easy to use and I am back sat down in front of the laptop now. Our experience is that we really don't use the laptop too much anymore as most of our day to day activity is more easily handled on the iPad. Navigation, banking, record keeping, research, news, and keeping in touch -- all iPad...

We are enjoying a Sunday afternoon here puttering on the boat and staying ahead of boat tasks, etc. That sound you hear is the watermaker which has been running for a couple of hours now replenishing our tanks. Once the new battery has been installed we have been able to make lots of water. The watermaker uses about 20 amps and we can generate about 15 amps from our solar panels and anywhere from 5 to 15 amps from the windvane. So -- we have water!

And groceries! We are into our second week of cruising with 4 aboard so we are down to the last of the fruit and vegetables. (Still lots of wine, beer, and rum so no real worries). As fortune would have it we were visited by the grocery truck yesterday afternoon and were able to restock. We even had lettuce for supper last night. I will let the photos tell the story of the grocery delivery and say only -- we feel very lucky indeed!
