hi everyone, we are still in San Carlos, getting work done on the boat. Right now, Kerry is on a road trip to find the welder to finish the dinghy davit system. It is all welded and here, but the welder has to come to attach it to the boat. Thank goodness for our friend, Jesus, who is helping us and interpreting for us. Oh well, it will get done eventually.
It seems that our batteries are a little flat as they will not start the boat unless it is plugged in. Not sure what that is about but we will be looking into that before we venture too far. We went out to commission our autopilot the other day and to do a little sailing. When we shut the engine off, it would not restart, so Kerry cleaned the battery posts and the connections, which seemed to do the trick. We had the generator going so between the two things, we got the boat going and made it back to the marina under power. I was able to sail for a bit while Kerry cleaned the battery posts. Light winds, so it was a nice sail - i would have preferred different circumstances, but at least we got to sail :)
We went out fishing a couple of days ago and caught some nice Panama Graysby's. The last ones caught were by Kerry. He knew he had a hit, so he was reeling it in. As it got closer to the dinghy, we realized he had caught two fish - one on each treble hook. Unfortunately we did not have the camera, so you will just have to take our word for it that it is not a fish tale! :)
The temperature has been in the mid 30's here and with the humidity, we are sweating constantly. I never understood when people said the humidity made such a difference, but now I do. I am just dripping as I sit here and type this. Oh well,, at least we are avoiding the cold back home.
Guess I better get to work cleaning the stainless steel stanchions.
Take care and play!
