We did not sleep very well. It was very windy, and pretty warm. We got up about 7 am and first thing we did was take showers. Normally we take showers in the evening before going to bed, but this morning I really needed to wash the pollen off my face. So showers before breakfast, then breakfast and devotions. The plan for today is to go shopping. OJ and Kay from the boat next door have volunteered to take us to the store. They have a car, and it is quite a drive across town to the Home Depot.
So, about 11 am we headed out to the stores. One of the stops was into a Chandlery (boat parts and tools store) very expensive and not very well stocked. But it was interesting as we ran into a younger sailor there who was looking for help with his hydraulics, we were not able to help him, but we could commiserate with him on not being able to find some things here in Mexico.
When we got back to the boat, we had lunch (we had bought it as take out from a chicken place) and I sent a text message to Colin, the guy I connected with on Facebook who is looking for a SIM card for his Iridium phone. He said he would be by at about 4 pm. He has had a pretty busy week, getting his boat back in the water, issues with his refrigeration, etc.
At about 4, I went out and let Colin in and we talked about the Iridium GO! and the Satellite phone and why I recommended the GO! I also recognized him as the guy with the hydraulic issues. Colin is Canadian and is planning on going to Canada by way of Hawaii and Alaska. His boat is a 52 foot steel hull. He has issues with the transmission, throttle control and wiring to name a few. Oh and he ran aground the other day with help from a panga. He is single handing, just him and his dog.
At the end of the day, we played a game of Baja Rummy, and Renee’ won.
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.
