We had one more night of bad mosquitoes before we left. It was a similar night as before, rain, no wind and sundown. We thought we had the boat closed up but we discovered the kids’ bathroom window was open. There were literally a 50 to 60 mosquitoes covering the walls. I shut the door to Tessa’s room and closed the door to door to the bathroom, trapping them inside. We left to go eat. I had to run back to the boat to get something from Tessa’s room about an hour later. I fought my way through the mosquito infested bathroom, using the flyswatter to kill as many as I could. When I opened Tessa’s bedroom door, I was sick. She had left a side hatch open. The corner of her wall near the window was black with mosquitoes. It was a nightmare. I killed as many as I could, but with the windows closed it was hot and unbearable. I closed her door and the bathroom door and left them until morning. That night she slept on the couch upstairs. We were cleaning up mosquitoes for days after that.
