As you might expect for a small boatyard in the middle of a mangrove swamp;
it is hot and steamy, all the insects bite and there are strange howling
noises all around at night. The noises are more than likely to be from other
boat owners who have gone mad waiting on spare parts and a tide high enough
to leave.
Progress so far is a folding propeller serviced, corrosion anodes replaced,
gear oil changed, hull cleaned, waxed and scratches filled with epoxy and
keel and sail drive primed with antifouling undercoat.
And heat-stroke and about fifty mossie bites.
