Local conditions huh?

Well it's 35°C / 93°F, there's almost no breeze, very few clouds, the sun is relentlessly beating down, humidity is over 90% and it's fucking miserable. Living on a sailboat in the subtropics can suck the life out of you sometimes.

You know, now that I think about, I might kill myself.

(GIANT /S) Don't call the authorities
