Sail Repair Day
0520 Loud music plays all night. I can't find my ear plugs. Fireworks sound like machine guns. It's light now and I still haven't slept!
John wants to show me everything at once. I can hardly keep my eyes open. By lunchtime, we have put new grommets and slides on the main sail, attached it to the boom and Mast making last minute adjustments to the head slides. Put the sail cover on and hank on the Jib. Starving, we make quick peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and I collapsed into my bunk for a nap. A squal cools down the afternoon and stops work on deck.
After a few hours of sleep, I am inventorying the food lockers. John makes dinner. Boiled potatoes and zuchini with slices of tomatoe and coleslaw. Hot cocoa and conversation until late.
2310 I am feeling drops on my feet from the hole for the anchor chain. Music is blaring once again from the Marina nearby. Got to find those earplugs!
