Our marina at dawn.

Phil's best friend joined the Adamo crew two days ago. We picked him up at the airport and brought him back to our floating home. He's quite familiar with the boat and the rules on board from when we lived in Florida (squidgy the shower doors after your shower, don't pull the high water pressure knob, turn off the water while you suds up, wipe the sink out with a hand towel after brushing your teeth, keep the decks clear, don't sit in front of the fridge with the door wide open waiting for something to jump out at you, put your drinking cup away after your done, don't fall off the boat, everyone helps with chores, and finally . . . have a great time!)

As you can imagine, Phil, Ben and Doug have been very busy since Ben's arrival. Ben's first day here consisted of conching, snorkeling, fishing, seeing the town, collecting and husking coconuts and mangos, more fishing, shopping for a pocket knife, and more fishing! I asked him how his first day was and he said: "it was good . . . actually . . . amazing." and we have another satisfied customer!

That's all the news for now. Adamo out.
