March 15, 2026: A Serene Sunday

A grey and quiet Sunday on the reserve. With the generator finally staying on into the waking hours, I was able to turn the Desalinator on and top up my water supply. Making water from seawater on the island affords us the luxury of having nice showers and even doing loads of laundry onsite. Although I’m always very conservative with my water use (well taught from days living on a boat), it’s nice to know I won’t run out.

Later in the day I had a short visit from Greg who kindly brought me a top up of groceries and supplies for the island. He did some checks, and showed me how to sharpen the chain on the chainsaw. I waved goodbye to him and was once again left to my own devices.
