Last night was caped off with a beautiful sunset over glassy waters. This morning was again nice and peaceful. Just the sound of birds in the trees.
Later in the morning I went to climb the mast to repair a light when we discovered some wasps hanging around the main sail. It looked like there was about a dozen trying to make a nest in the folds of the sail. I carefully sprayed the sail with vinegar and water. That dispersed them for a while, but they came back. So we hauled anchor and raised the sail. We sailed for half an hour around to the next bay, but they still hung around. As I dropped the sail I sprayed it with vinegar again. It seemed to keep the wasps away. No they just moved to the mizzen sail! It took about an hour of spraying but they seemed to have left.
Just after lunch B discovered that one of the freezers was not working. All our meat had defrosted. So the next few day will be precooking lots of dinners. Just what we want to do in this heat. At least the batteries will charge quicker with only one freezer running.
Otherwise it was usual live aboard stuffs: morning swim, snorkeling, taking the dinghy for a rowing ride ashore, story telling, cooking dinner, and sundowners.
