The rain is POURING down and we are getting projects done (or at least trying). We've had to move the boat to a mooring since our anchor dragged in the night two nights ago. The holding ground here is really bad because of all the debris on the bottom. We are also trying to get used to the smells emitted from the tuna factories just up the road from the boat. But it's pretty hard, especially when it accosts your nostrils first thing in the morning before you've even had coffee!

Riina and Matt flew out last night. They will both go back to Laramie, Wyoming where Matt works as a structural engineer. Riina will fly home to Brussels later in the month where she works and is also finishing up a PhD in education. We had such a great time on Confetti with them: exploring remote islands, cooking and eating delicious meals and drinking good wine. Hopefully the next place we catch up with them will be in Europe.

We plan to stay here through next Tuesday checking off the project list and provisioning for the next month.
