The weather has been very hot. The hurricane Betsy missed us, but to work here between 11 am till about 3PM is brutal. We continue on the trampolines and the wiring, and winches.

The Gendarme (French Police) have boarded a few boats here looking for papers, visas and passports, but we have had no trouble....

Each trampoline takes about 3 days each with two people working all day. The net has to be strung, squared, and then woven twice with two sizes of ropes, with about 1500 zip ties used in the process for each one.

The upright rails that hold the guide wires are being added by the stainless steel marine fabricators today.  Here the bow pulpit was added so the anchor could be used safely.

New cleats were added to the mast. The winches were rebuilt even though the hardware was discarded by the crew who did more sabotage than good.
