I’ve had very little to do with my hair so far. I leave it alone, it leaves me alone. I haven’t used a comb or a brush even once since we left California (thanks Nikki for the great haircut). The beard got to be a problem though as I was getting quite a bit of mustache with my pizza and no diving mask would seal to that hairy face. It must be trimmed!
But how do I trim it without covering the boat in hair? Answer: go to a little private motu (tiny island) in the south end of Fakarava, take my beard trimmer and a mirror, and hack away. The problem was that the battery seems to have gone bad in my trimmer and it only made it half way through the job. That wasn’t a pretty site. I finished the job after a quick recharge back at the boat, sitting in the dingy. The most mundane things can become quite a challenge out here. I know, I know, you wish you had my problems! -Rich
