Too tired to write tonight – hard work today – getting the boat geared up.  Enough grub to last at least 3 months.  Finally able to sit down and relax.  Checking the weather.  Nippers eatin’ us alive.   Captain got sunburned and elbow gashed.  Everyone’s feet and back hurts.  Otherwise uneventful.  Will set sail early in the morn to beat the weather up the coast.  Great fun.
