After we saw some bad weather coming our way, we sailed to a more protected atoll and Brioni got to work to make a rain enclosure for our cockpit to replace the old one that came on the boat when we bought it.

The storms arrive just after we dropped our stern anchor and our dinghy bridle snaps at 6am. We have to quickly assess all the nearby coral to see if we’re going to run aground and once the weather calms down we celebrate with a coconut crab cooked on a beach fire with our cruising neighbours.
