Aside from needing to recover from all of the jollifications, as described by Linda, we needed to get some boat work done.
Trip went up the backstay to mount our USA flag, I varnished most of the exterior woodwork, we did laundry, and went grocery shopping. It’s not the scorching heat that the US or mainland Europe has been experiencing, but it is hot and humid, so we decided to go investigate the local natural pools in Velas. There are no beaches on the island, (volcanic), so think of your community pool being a slab of concrete poured with some ladders into where volcanic lava flows formed natural pools at the edge of the ocean. Based on their structure, some water would get in and warm up where all the young kids would play. The more adventurous could swim over the natural ’lip’ and further out into the ocean. Not a bad way to live!
