Monday morning Peter and Ed helped me in a major effort of cleaning and waxing the entire hull from the dinghy. That afternoon Amanda and I got the first of five coats of varnish on and from Wednesday until Sunday morning, we enjoyed the quiet beauty of Little Harbor anchorage again. This is the type of anchorage we really enjoy between expeditions; sheltered, but with nice breezes for ventilation, great snorkeling in crystal-clear water, and the ability to see the lights of the town and island in the distance.

Ahh, the cruising life.
