Changing Sails

Wednesday, October 13, 2010 

Today, we did more boatwork.  Actually, mainly TC and Paul did this chore.  They changed out the genoa sail – from our larger one to the smaller one.

We read some more.  Surprised? 

Late in the afternoon, we went in to play with kids.  Paul played soccer.  After he finished playing soccer, I played tickle monster.  I tickled them and chased them around – barefoot and in a string bikini top under my long sleeve shirt – not comfy.  However, all the sprints must have been good for me since my legs were sore the next day.  I haven't done sprints in quite a while. 

We got some jumping pictures in, which was fun.  

Some of the kids told us that some families had food to give to us.  TC was off on the SUP scoping out where would be a good place to take the dinghy in to pick up Quincy and John in a few days.  So Paul and I paddled down the beach to another group of families.  We both ended up with extra passengers since the kids so enjoy riding in the kayak.  Took Malina and Sullivan, then Malina back in kayak.

The families presented us with two different types of breadfruit chips.  Both were delicious.  One set was sliced thinly, so the chips were super crunchy.  The other chips were big, thick cross-sections of breadfruit that were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.   We hung out there for a while, but then we started to get bit by tons of mosquitoes, so we thanked them again and headed back out to the boat. 

While we were making dinner, Tommy paddled out to present us with a huge loaf of bread that his wife had baked.  It was probably 20" long.  He also brought out more breadfruit chips.  We cannot get enough breadfruit chips.  They are so yummy.
