We had several days of torrential rain here in San Blas after the big winds died down. We were able to take advantage of the heavy rain by filling one of our water tanks (~70 gallons). First we rigged up the mainsail cover upside down on the foredeck leading to the deck fill, but the real winner was raising the main, leaving a fold at the bottom, raising the boom with the topping lift, and clamping a hose into the fold at the mast. At times the hose sprayed fresh rainwater as though it was connected to a tap.

Yes, the above is a crocodile fence. On one side are crocodiles, on the other side? Us...swimming.
You can't see it in this photo, but this guy's head is only about a meter from the edge of a road. If you happened to step off the shoulder into the bushes you would be in for a 3 meter long surprise.

I must say that the natural natives don't look that friendly.
