April 8th


















Found these three pictures when I was going through the mess seeing what to keep. They represent the best and worst of the time I have spent here. The best is the meal in San Evistro at the restruante of a locasl fishing family. Two tables, a palapa roof and you can have anything you want to eat, as long as it was fish, rice and beans (plus cervesa). She was out of fish and had to send her daughter down to the boat to get one to cook. Prfetty good and fresh. To see Steve and Claudia again after a year, and sit with Tom who we were buddy boating with (Dean took the picture) made it all better.

Ah, the worst. Working on your boat in exotic places. The 40 year old deck was fast going south in the hot sun and needed immediate repair. A 10 grand or more new deck was out of the querstion. The solution for now is a pl=olymer rubber based roofing paint to seal and pprotect what is left. I have it on fairly good referral that it works OK in the short term (3-5 years)

Harp (that water dog of a girl) swimming in the bay at Tenacatica. Hard to keerp her out of the water.

Great vista on the east side of Isla Partita. Good hike up the dry wash and over the saddle on the other side.

Gonna haul Allymar out tomorrow and continue the process of putting her away for 7 months.
