March 21, Saturday, Guaymas

We got up, had breakfast and did our devotions. Then got started with our day. 

First thing up was to move the boat. One of the other boats on this dock is being hauled out today to move the boat onto the hard. Their dock is on the other side from us, and the dock is much better, for example it is longer, wider, and has 50 amps of shore power available. Compared to 30 amps at the dock we are at this morning. 

After moving the boat and getting it all tied up and shore power run, I took the Plankton strainer housing out of the boat and up on the dock I was able to get it apart and clean the strainer. Then reinstall the filter. While I was at it, I replaced the cartridges in the two filters one is a 20 micron filter the other is a 5 micron filter. We talked to the neighbors for a bit, there is a lot of confusion about what to do with the Coronavirus. Whether to end the sailing season early, park the boats and go back to the states, or stay on the boats and stay here in Mexico. Some of the people have to leave, as their visas expire soon. The normal visa for Mexico is 30 days, 90 days or 180 days. You can ask for any of these when you cross the border  We are still planning on staying here until the end of May. We reset our visa’s when we were back to the states in February for parts.

We spent some time on the phone with relatives, and Renee’ cleaned inside. 

We do have room for guests, if anyone is interested in visiting and spending a week or so with us, drop us a line and we will coordinate. What you have to do/have is you need a passport and will need to be able to get to where we are when you are going to be down. When we know what time frame you are thinking about we can let you know where we expect to be so that you can make your travel arrangements.

This is the old small dock. the end of which did not reach to our ladders on the side of the boat. The wagon is there for perspective on how small this dock is.
This is the new larger dock. We were also able to back in, thanks to the bow thruster.
