Urchins, blisters, bites, and chicken butt

Adventures abound. First day Quinn brushed a sea urchin (black ones are not poisonous) within 2 minutes of swimming, right in front of the Ritz Carlton no less. The locals were very helpful removing the tiny spine and washing it down with vinegar. Next up are blisters. Lots of sailing means lots of blisters so nightly surgery and tape are a standard. Treament also applies to Mosquito bites as it's unusually rainy which is breeding lots of mosquitos. Chicken Butt? It's akin to diaper rash, but sailors all over the world sailing extended days prefer a more seaworthy name. Lucky we have a well stocked first aide kit! All is well.
