I've lost count of the bites I've had and I'm doing my best to protect the
few square inches of unbitten skin I still have left. I think these things
are sand flies but whatever they are I never see them and they must be too
small to pull their tiny little wings off, which is what they royally
deserve.

Apart from insect infestation, working on a boat in 40 degrees of heat is
very hard for a delicate white boy like me but I have managed to get one
coat of antifouling paint on today. Maybe another tomorrow.
