February 21, 2023. Playa Royale, Nuevo Vallarta. This evening.

Our little family is quiet tonight at 9:00.  Abe has gone to bed.  Every other evening after dinner Abe and Anna had gone down to the hot tub.  But not tonight so he has gone to bed.  Abe is one of those fortunate people who go to bed and goes to sleep immediately.  Anna is working on her computer and is quiet as a mouse.  She is busily doing some accounting plus dealing with her e mails.

Anne is on the floor cutting out the fabric to be made by her for the hatch covers.  She sewed the first one today so by this time tomorrow night both covers will be complete.  They will be going to the French tropical islands where it is hot.  And it rains.  When they are sailing in British Columbia and it rains, they just close the hatches.  But in the tropics when it rains and the hatches must be closed, the boat will be hot inside.  Thus the need for waterproof hatch covers which Anne is making.  They must make a system where the rain will run off so it is a bit tricky.

Kenny is reading.  Right now he is checking the locations of several friends who are on the high seas.  One friend is now going to Australia from New Zealand.  Last year they were in Mexico.  They are from Vancouver.  These sailers keep track of each other.  I have found it impressive.  Kenny also has been answering questions from Anne concerning the dimensions.  So he is doing triple duty.

I have done my foot bandaged by Anna.  And after Anne is finished her cutting with the hot scissors, she will deal with my thumb which still needs to be treated twice a day.  My thumb is doing well so we are all pleased about that.  Earlier I read on my iPad.  After dinner, which we eat on the balcony, I always wait until the night is totally black before coming inside.

This evening our condo is a beehive of activity.  But it is quiet, very quiet.  We all like that.
