Ahhhh, a shed

We'd been sitting on our hands the last few days waiting for the wind to calm down a bit, but to no avail so yesterday we headed to the mainland in waves higher than the dinghy with a new plan. We loaded up 18 sheets of iron into the dinghy and set off to the sheltered side of the island then walked the dinghy around in the low tide to our side of the island. So, we got the iron and now we have a shed to store our stuff in. I feel more complete now that I have a shed!

 

Now the priority shifts from building a shed to moving the contents of the container over to the island. We have twelve days until the container has to be returned. It looks like Friday might be suitable to do a load on the raft so we might get solar panels and the freezer over here.

On our last trip with the raft one of the barrels took on some water and several barrels had big indentations in them. We thought we might have a crack but today we checked and they are ok. Perhaps it was just something to do with the change in air temperature? We've sealed the openings up with silicone. Fingers crossed our solar panels and freezer don't sink. We may have to walk the raft around the island.
