Friday May 13, 2022 Paradise Village Marina

We were a bit late getting up, around 7:30 breakfast read the Bible (we tried moving it to the end of the day, but that did not work). Then get organized. Today is the day for the notary for the sale of the dingy and work on the sails and rigging. So, about 10 am, I had all my stuff ready and headed up to the embassy. I got about halfway and remembered how much of a pain the dingy had been when we bought the boat. It came with the boat, but required a separate bill of sale. So, while I had the registration (which the state of Delaware office for boats) which needed to be notarized, I did not have a “bill of sale”. Back to the boat, and figure out how to rectify that. I looked at the Bill of Sale we had gotten and went on line looking for a template. I did not find one that looked like what I wanted. So, I copied the one we had, which was a pdf, therefore I had to create the document. Well that was a bit more than an hour, during which time I was notified that the sail guys were on their way. Then later they were stuck in traffic. Now it is lunch time.

After lunch I will go up to the embassy, and walk over to the place the dinghy went and see about getting it up on the davits, maybe?

Well, the mainsail is gone to get it’s logo, the life raft is off to get re-certified, and the boat is starting to look a bit naked. I walked up to the Embassy (fancy sounding name for an office on the second floor of a mall in the corner, down a hall). They of course don’t work on Friday’s. Then over to the boat that has our dinghy (the guy who bought it wants it up on his davits, and the old one either gone or up on his trampoline (it is a catamaran and that is the net between the two hulls at the front of the boat). So far that has not happened. He had arranged to have it done by Cano. Well communications are an issue, Scott (the guy who bought the dinghy) is going to try again.

So, back to the boat and then off to the pool at 4 pm, happy hour and back to the boat then showers. Tonight was movie night, we watched Back to the Future. Then bed.

Just another sunrise
That is the big yellow boat that went bump in the night
A little closer picture of his hole, it’s only about 4″ in diameter.

 

So, I finally made it up to the embassy only to find they are closed on Friday’s
