Up slow at about 7:30 or so. Breakfast and listened to the net. I got a text that the solar panels will be here at 9:30. This is sort of earlier than we expected, so Reneé has to go and see if the money is in the bank and get out more pesos. Well she just checked online, and no the money has not transferred yet. So, she is going to try another card that should have money, but with a slightly higher fee for the transfer. We owe 20,447 pesos, and we have 18,000 pesos. This sounds like a lot of money, it is about $1000 total and we are short about $125. We have US dollars, and could pay in US dollars, at 17 pesos to the dollar while the bank gives us a better rate closer to the conversion rate of 20.29 pesos to the dollar.
I was supposed to go over and help Steve Pepper go up his mast this morning at 9 am. I called and told him I would go over after the panels are here.
Well, the panels arrived at about 9 so, I called Steve and told him I would be late. The panels took a bit to get onto the boat, and by the time I was done with all that, Steve had gotten a neighbor to help him. Reneé was able to get the money and we paid for everything. The controllers he brought were the wrong ones, and he said that he would have the correct one either today or tomorrow.
Chava came down after the panels were on the boat to get final measurements and later in the day he got back to us with estimates. WOW! Welding for these panels will be expensive.
Eddie Vargas (the guy working on the mast boot) said he would by the boat tomorrow between 10 and 11.
We got the dinghy cover all back on the boat and pictures for the dinghy to list it for sale. Put it up on Facebook in the Banderas Bay group and sold it in about 15 minutes. Well we will see when we get the money.
We headed to the pool about 4 pm and swam for an hour or so then happy hour to dry off. Then back to the boat for dinner and change. We met Steve and Denny in the hospitality suite for a game of Mexican Train (dominos). Finally back to the boat showers and bed.
