What do we do all day?

For those of you who think we lie about, all day, in our hammock...I've got news for you. This is a little of what we've been up to and how Fortuitous looks most of the time. Unfortunately, we didn't take any photos of the mildewed cupboards and such...perhaps I was crying too hard!!Those are bottles of fresh water behind me.
Each one had to be lifted on board and then emptied into our tanks. Heavy, hot work.

We had 30 bottles in this load, but had 20 or so to empty right after we first arrived in Bahia.


This is our hired help, Ariusto. He was just fabulous and, without him, I think we'd be still working here for another month!



Ralph hard at it.




This is how our cockpit looks much of the time when we are up to our navels in work. Not the picture of comfort.





And this would be our "guest quarters". Keep this in mind all you friends and family that keep threatening to visit us!!
