Well I've got so many mosquito bites I look like I have chicken pox, and about half of my back is sunburned. The worst feeling in the world is a sunburn that just keeps itching. Itch it, and it stings, don't itch it and it hurts. The life of a plundering sailor is pretty difficult. So far, its been filled with sunny mornings and stormy afternoons. Yesterday we picked up some foul weather gear, and right after we got back to the boat the sky threw a rain and wind concoction at us so terrible that the rain felt like little pins on your face. Luckily, we had our foul weather gear on, so we stayed mostly dry. Afterwards, we got a nice view of an almost complete rainbow.

As far as setting sail, we are still doing some work on the boat. I tried to get the stereo system hooked up yesterday, but after 2 hours of wiring discovered that the head unit didn't work. Womp womp. Today we got the roller furling (makes it easy to roll up the sail in front) all set up to go up the mast, but only after I dropped about 10 ball bearings into the depths of the boat, and had to go fish them out.

Currently we are run aground in the bay due to low tides and changing wind patterns that blew us onto a slight reef. After using the depth finder, we discovered the water in only three inches too low. But its a full moon, and full moon means high high tides. Setting sail is projected for mid next week, however who knows because the weather has its own plans for how much work we can do on the boat each day.
