Sewing and lugging 30 liters of water


I sew and Oernulf luggs. It's a never-ending sewing project keeping the flag un-frayed at the bottom. Red, white and blue button thread and patience, a must on every boat.
Meanwhile Oernuls is in town, beside the community center, fetching water in the 30 liter jug. And more outboard fuel. It's errand day.

In the afternoon I sketch while Oernulf hikes over to Pirates' Bay Beach. A certain division of labor is necessary on a boat.

In the evening we have banana-date bread fresh out of the oven. Warm and yummy in the lantern-lit cockpit, watching the rolling sailboats, their anchor-lights few and weak.
