Up at 6:15 or so. It’s very calm this morning. We will get diesel to fill the tank before going into our slip.
We had breakfast and did our bible reading. Then got underway. We stopped at the fuel dock and got 95 gallons for about $500. Then into our slip. We got situated and contacted
Allan Smith who will be coordinating our work here in San Carlos. He showed up about 10 am, and we went over the work to be done. This included have an electrical guy come down and set up a date for him to come back and do the electrical work on Friday. We will be taking the anchor out and rinsing the chain today, probably washing the boat as well. After the anchor is back aboard we will turn the boat around and put shore power on with the boat backed in. That may not happen until tomorrow morning. There is typically no wind first thing in the morning.
After Allan and Salvadore left we had lunch. I have to get to the office and tell them Salvadore will be on the boat on Friday.
Tonight, I need to update the blog, I just checked I have not uploaded since April 26th. So, it will take an hour or so.
We eventually had water on the dock. We had both anchors and all rode on the dock also the 1” (or 1 1/4”) tow rope extra anchor line approximately 300 ft, clean apparently unused, on deck then washed out the anchor locker. The drain line, of course, was plugged. So, we had to tear apart the forward stateroom to get to the drain, I was able to blow it out with the vacuum cleaner.
Then let it dry out for a while, and put it all away.
We have a check list for all of the stuff that we have to do. We checked off a few things today. Tomorrow morning we will turn the boat around and hook up shore power, after we wash the outside of the boat.
