Indoor day today, sheltering from the wind and rain. The floor boards have swollen from the very high humidity, so one job was to plane and then varnish their edges. No small feat in the small interior space of a boat. Also began making another batch of soft cheese from a type of fungus called Kefir. A mushroom that is magic! The fungus had been given to us by Aleko, who in turn had received it from another sailor. So many things are passed from one sailor to another - charts, live bread yeast, boat parts, books and of course, valuable advice about an area. The camaraderie of sailors is a wonderful thing.
