Rain and mud and many, many noseeums, but surely feelums

Faraway came out of the water and it was full of barnacles. They said they would haul us at two but by the time we were done it was five, so we just showered and went out to dinner with some Uruguayan friends who have their boat here. At night it poured and it rained on and off today so it was muddy and wet. Juan managed to sand the bottom and put primer where the paint wore off with the scraping and sanding. In spite of the difficulty of working in the mud, if all goes well (and it never does) we could be launching Faraway tomorrow afternoon. I am dying to be in the water again, the nearest bathroom in this yard is over a mile away so the conditions are dire. Creativity is really our middle name in that department. Juan still has a few things he needs to do but he says he can do them in the water. I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed. I am done with this yard!
