Our first day on the boat, Neil changed out the generator start battery, 3 hours. Reneé swept the deck, it was very dirty, and moved items from the boat to the apartment, from the apartment to the boat. 

We have a list of things to do on the boat before putting it back in the water. The Salvador (the owner of the boat yard) told everyone that the lift would be out of service for a week to get new tires. So far one set (out of four) is off the lift. They take. Two of the wheels off and transport them to the shop change them and fill with foam, then bring them back install them and move to the next set.

Monday is a Mexican holiday, so, I am not holding my breath on a week.

We went out for dinner and a beer. Reneé had fish tacos, Neil had beef tacos, we didn’t know that the tacos came with a margarita, Neil had both of them. The price was reasonable, about 200 pesos each for the tacos. We watched Ground Hog Day but fell asleep half way through.

The dirty solar panels
This shows that our solar panels, even as dirty as they are work!
The new batteries for the engine and generator.
These are the two battery compartments, the Generator Start battery goes in the back one and the engine start battery goes in the front one.
