Even though it was a rig day Laura and I were sent below like the seamstress we are, she was finishing up her splice with it’s fuzzy ends for a sail makers slice and I was sent back on the spanker clew. I had put a patch on the corner covering the bolt rope, but that wasn’t going to work, I ended up putting leather around the corner and then sewing in the large corner grommet. After lunch I went with Nick to a huge produce center to get some fruit and vegetables for the next two weeks before we leave. When I got back Laura had put in the holes for the two smaller grommets. First she made a dotted line with an awl, cut a little here and there and in the long run just melted the edges.
The Harvey Gamage arrived tonight and is docked by us.

Hi ya sounds like lots of work and a small amount of fantastic sight seeing. What's the date you are leaving the island? What is good to eat there? How's the coffee?
