Friday Jan 22: our new dinghy arrived all nice and snug in a very large- read “long” box, that JUST fit into Russ’s truck. We opted to buy a dinghy of our choosing  (Achilles HB-315LX ) rather than get the one that came with Ortolan. At 10’4″ it is two feet shorter and weighs 25 pounds less, which may enable us to move it more easily after a blissful island-beach-y day- then oops the dinghy is high and dry- the tide having gone out while we are enjoying the island.

Baby Bunting... where's mama?
