do a lot at one time. When Mark went in to get on the internet, I stayed on the boat. It looked like rain, and yesterday’s laundry was still not dry. I wanted to leave it out, but be here to take it in if the skies opened up. Well, the skies didn’t “open up” but they drizzled all morning while the sun was shining.

He had called us back and left the message that he would be here at 3:00, but we were in town and didn’t get the message. In any event, he came out with us and once again tried to balance our system. Mark is still not sure things are quite right, but we will have to wait until about noon tomorrow before we can make that final determination.

downtown shop but are anxious to see the gallery.
I’m secretly hoping that we can go to Mele Island, also known as Hideaway Island, on Thursday after we get our fuel. We could spend the night there and leave for New Caledonia on Friday. But then, you are never supposed to start a crossing on a Friday, so maybe we will just have to leave on Thursday. We’ll have to keep you posted on this one.
