Crusty and Crab arrive….

I’ll let you figure which one is which. I got here Saturday, spent most of the time cleaning the boat and doing some maintenance items. They arrived on Monday after a long, long trip. But it did go well, other than Mike being checked and rechecked by every security guard that laid his/her eyes on him.

Spend the next day or two still on maintenance. Fixed the fuel tank, did not move it back but instead rigged up the old tank under the quarter berth and gave up on the new tank. Looks and works well. Replaced the leaking seals on the water pump on the engine so it is now dry and also replaced the fuel gauge, and it works! What a bonus.

We moved the fridge out from under the table, I find it works great when we are in port and had a hard time leaving it behind. It now sits in under the radio and looks great. That compartment was pretty much filled with junk. Threw some out and stored the rest elsewhere.

When not working on the boat, Boomer would come by and keep Rod and Mike amused. Boomer is one of the colorful individuals that can found around here and lives in the Marina on his boat year round. He gave us a ride into town for groceries and provisions. It was very kind of him to do that. Thursday morning it was cast off and head for the islands. These islands which are a marine sanctuary, of which Isla Espiritos Sanctos, is the largest. They are a unique world class destination.
