March 25, Wednesday, Guaymas, bottom cleaning and walking 

We got up about normal, 7 am or so. Laid in bed and red for a bit, finally out of bed by about 7:45. At 8 am the bottom cleaning guy came by and told us the price would be 700 pesos to clean the bottom and check/replace zincs. This is about $29.21 at todays exchange rate. So, that got done. (As a comparison we had the bottom cleaned in Puerto Escondido for $75. Same job, different rate.

We had our breakfast and did our devotions, puttered around and eventually took a walk after lunch.

We walked down the malecon, and then came back by another route to go by the grocery store and to get a haircut for me. All in all a quiet day.  

Malecon. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Malecón is a word used in Spanish-speaking countries, and especially in nations of Latin America, for a stone-built embankment or esplanade along a waterfront. 

We were back on the boat b y 3 pm, we stopped by the fuel dock to check on getting diesel for the boat. We are at half a tank and really should fill up before we leave. But, they have not signed a contract with Pemex, so no diesel here. We could Lug jerry cans from the station in town and fill 5 gallons at a time. But, I don’t want to do that. 80 gallons at 5 gallons at a time would be a lot of work. San Carlos just up the coast about 15 miles has fuel, so we will go there.

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.
