After the morning net three dinghies headed south to the end of the bay rendezvousing with two more from vessels further in. Soon we had folks from Whiskers, Callisto, Jackster, Sea Mist and us on the road for an easy hike to Belvedere. This was a lookout with views of both Opunohu and Cook Bays. The hike started off very cool in the shaded valley but soon became quite humid. Fortunately the hike wasn’t too strenuous. My cold was really setting in and I wasn’t up for too much exertion. A lot of cruisers have colds at the moment. I think it was mixing it up with the crowds in Pape’ete has exposed us to all the latest strains.<\/p>\n

Back on the boat after lunch Gerald from Whiskers as well as Tom from Emily Grace showed up to discuss our leak. There was concern we may have corrosion which would be quite serious. To be on the safe side the immediate remediation was to use epoxy to seal the leaking joint and then seal that over with a layer of self bonding tape. I did all this and upon testing we are again dry.<\/p>\n

Somewhere along the way I managed to aggravate my wrist which is now extremely painful. I suspect it may be related to the sore throat, etc. I have but can’t be sure. There are a few medical professionals on nearby boats who I may consult today.<\/p>\n

Not sure of our plans for today but right now I don’t feel up to much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
