Position: Club Nautico Reloncavi, Puerto Montt
Weather: Partly cloudy, cool - no rain!

We have enjoyed an unprecedented run of sunshine and most importantly no rain over the past few days. I have been working hard to make the most of it but progress is frustratingly slow - lots of tiring and monotonous sanding and fairing. Tomorrow I hope to get the first coat of primer on the starboard side of the topsides, but I have barely begun sanding back the port side of the hull. The sunshine is supposed to continue for the next couple fo days so with a little luck and perseverance will at least get the first coat of primer on the hull finished before the rain sets in again.

All is well.

An unprecedented period of stillness has descended upon my abode, I would almost think we had moved ashore. And a few sun baths in the cockpit of late, have good times arrived at last? Now if the skipper could just get the food sorted, indeed all would be … zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
