I was up at the normal time, but Reneé did not feel so well, so she slept in until after 9.

Dinghy left, Jose’s guys came for measurements for welding estimate

John Pounder arranged to start Monday for pulling wires, which means we have to clean out the aft lazarette, sort of like a garage or Fiber McGee’s closet, for those of you who don’t know this reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9FGC68YcwM 

Well when Reneé was up and about she said she was up for the pool and the cruise up the river with the Pepper’s in their dinghy.  I spent the day on the boat waiting for people to come to the boat for measuring to give us an estimate for the solar welding, and also for Cano to take the dinghy over to the other boat sine it is sold now. 

Cano showed up at about 2:30, and the dinghy was gone! Then we headed up to the pool and enjoyed some company and the pool. Later we took a cruise on their dinghy up the river. Pictures below.

On our way to the showers, we stopped and talked to a man on his beautiful boat, at a 68 foot (on the deck) ketch. It’s Yellow. The man is basically deaf, and getting an ocular implant in a month or so. They were at Yelapa on a mooring ball. The eye on the mooring ball failed, they did not have an anchor alarm on. The first notice they had was when they hit the concrete pier. 

They now have a hole above the water line to fix.

Our old dinghy going away!

We had to go by the dolphin show. We saw a few dolphins and then the guard showed up and we left.
There are at least 9 Iguana’s on that dock
