Dave Lee flew back to the northern hemisphere Tuesday night and Schimy is off to Australia tomorrow morning. Confetti is rocking and rolling at the dock, as the wind is blowing, but somehow it is still SO HOT!

We have been working on exorcising the autopilot demon and various other projects. Dan is getting used to walking around without a shirt in public (something he would never do at home) but all the local men do it here. Actually not just the men! Clothing is definitely more "optional" in French Polynesia, even in restaurants. It's a very casual atmosphere.
