When the gray sky kisses the gray sea, it's very wet "in between".

From this afternoon unfortunately drove 3 hours in continuous rain. . . almost everything along the busy road. The waterproof bags held up 👍🌻 The prospect of permanent quarters, a day off and meeting Monika, who will accompany us for the next few weeks, provided power again.
