Not really. It's actually pretty beautiful and the people are
actually pretty cool. I love it when I can bash another myth.
Anyway, we're stuck here for a bit looking for pipefittings for a new
exhaust riser, and a couple bazillion other projects, mostly small but
requiring city-type resources. Papeete is a city, all right.
Got new logs and pics up on the site, for those interested.

Fumbling along living the dream,

You should have listened to Capt. Neal when he said simplify, simplify,
simplify! Now look at you guys. Stuck with more projects than sense.
But, there are sailors and there are tinkerers. Tinker away!

I know, Wilbur, and we haven't hardly been sailing at all on this
trip. We should have listened to the wise and benificent Capt. Neal
when we could have bought a Crapanado 27 with an outboard and a cedar
bucket instead of this POS boat.
I live every moment consumed with regret.
