[status] A second night of great rain, filling our tanks. We have done five loads of laundry in the past two days. We only have two more to do, and we will be all caught up. That means Sarah is happy. When Sarah is happy, we are all happy! :) We are moving to Munda this afternoon. It's been a beautiful day.

[status] On passage from Brazil towards Cape Verde

We are just passing through another line of thunderstorms. It is odd that there is lots of lightning, but very little thunder, even though the clouds we are trying to dodge are very close to us. As we approached this latest band in the dusk it looked like a line of ferocious dogs, their heads all growling and spittle dripping from their mouths. Then as we passed under their heads they melted into dull grey fluff. All bark and no bite.
