Yesterday we defrosted the fridge for the first time in 10 days. George had added some gasket material to two sides of the door opening and there is some evidence it may have helped.
Later on we went to shore for a hike up over the hill to the east side of the island. At four pm we dinghied to the tiki hut for the usual gathering of cruisers but this time it was just us with Dee and Ron from Ursa Minor. Given the wind conditions, we were surprised when another boat motored into the anchorage in the afternoon. Dee and Ron had invited them to join us at the tiki hut but the new arrivals said they were tired from a long passage.

Before we went to bed we tried one more thing to reduce the sloshing in the water tank. Our friend, Michael, had suggested a pool noodle. George was a little concerned that the noodle would degrade in the water—or would lead to bacterial growth—so we cut the noodle up, put the pieces in ziplock bags, and dropped them in the tank. Stay tuned…
