Our lives consist of daily boat chores, cleaning, laundry, Nicholas doing servicing of equipment, repairs or improvements. Cooking and baking as there are no stores here. I continue to try get some physical activity done each day, plus Yoga in the mornings.
The weather is getting warmer, and we are now consistently at 30 deg C daily, and nights are warm and at most we sleep with only a sheet. The wind varies from almost non existent, making it very hot, to a nice 10k breeze. Occasionally it peak up to 20k maybe once a week. The Sea temperature is warm, and a quick dip doesn't really cool you down unless you dive down into a thermocline.
Back at Hog Cay Yacht Club Tiki Bar for BYOB sundowners
Donna and Jerry of SV Blue Jacket are now out of quarantine and joined our group. Craig and Christine of SV Rambunctious, out of quarantine, have stopped off at Hog Cay for a few days. Their plans to head to Panama is put on hold due to Covid-19, so they’ll head over to the States to provision with supplies and fuel, pending Covid-19 improvements around the world and what to do next.

Darling Pepper, such a wonderful fur child
Dale and Pepper of SV MokaKat, sadly said ‘Goodbye’, and left our anchorage this week to sail back to the States, where he will make his way to his cabin on Beaver Lake in Arkansas to spend the rest of Lockdown there. We’ll miss Dale, and I’ll miss my daily fix of little Pepper. Fair Winds, and I hope we meet up with you somewhere.
Thanks also to Dale, that we have taken transfer of his MyIslandWiFi unit, so we now have excellent unlimited WiFi aboard Meshugga (provided we are near to a cell phone aerial).
Peppers dad, Dale
Walking the trail to the east beaches, great shot of our west bay anchorage. Meshugga is the yacht on the extreme LHS in the photo.
