The problem was easily solved, and I was back on deck in no time. The Jib came down easily and we folded it and stowed it, our biggest job now behind us. Next, I worked on stowing lines and blocks. For a change of pace we took a dinghy ride to the fuel dock to check the depth and the hours, 8-noon. We toured the bay, lots of beautiful homes and resorts on shore and lots of boats on moorings preparing for haul out. Back on the boat we discovered that the water pressure had returned and Suzette set about cleaning cushions. The off-white cushions have held up amazingly well and they clean up easily.
