Accomplishments for Saturday:
- First use of DZ’s dinghy and outboard — and got to shore without capsizing. 
- Found that the yellow-brown water collecting on the floor of head wasn’t from a toilet leak, but water seeping through an unsealed hole in the deck. ;-p
- Dove the boat while at our moorage to cut away netting that had caught on the prop, and clean the depth sounder transducer (which now works again as a result!)

Accomplishment for Sunday:
- Kitty caught a flying fish — or more precisely, a flying fish smacked her in the face while she was on watch during our night passage to Antigua.
