Up and morning routines. Then we went out and polished stainless steel. One of the regular chores on the boat. We have a bunch of stainless steel, and living on the sea means lots of salt spray. This means that there is a reason to rinse the boat fairly frequently. But that means me ween to be in a marina that has water. Santa Rosalía is the only marina we have been in since we left Puerto Peñasco, and they have not always had water to rinse the boat. As a result we have only washed the boat once since we left Puerto Peñasco. 2 and a half months. There is quite a bit of salt crust on everything. After polishing we rested for a few minutes then got the dinghy down and took our trash in and joined a group of other sailors and a local ex pat for lunch. Then back to the boat and put the dinghy away and plan our next several days of sailing.
Then because we could, we got in the water and floated for a bit. Followed by dinner and working on the blog.

This is our Starlink antenna mounted on the arch.
This is the shadow across the solar panel
Here is the output of the two panels.  You can see that one panel is about 1/2 of the other for output. By early afternoon, out battery was fully charged.
Doing our morning routine of reading the bible, the flys were really anoying.
Sometimes you get to be the star for someone else, in this case a pelican
