02/04/26 Mazatlan, Mexico – Wednesday

Up at 6:30, the net at 8 am. Clean up and pack.
I ate my last tamale for lunch. I emptied the freezer and fridge. For the last time.
The safety meeting was a birthday/going away party. I am the only one flying, everyone else is taking their boat.

02/02/26 Mazatlan, Mexico – Monday

Up at 6:30, breakfast and the net. I have help coming at 9 am to put the canopy up. I have some phone calls to make and a trip to the bank.
Today is Constitution day (official holiday in Mexico), actual day is 2/5. But they celebrate on the first Monday in February. So, places are closed.
Good news, the canopy is up. The really bad news….my phone went swimming. At least I believe it did. I have an iPhone 16 pro max. Which is rated for 30 minutes in 6 meters of water. It’s in a Ghostek case also rated for 30 minutes in 6 meters of water. The diver got here within a half hour of when I figured out it must’ve gone in. Which is about an hour or so total before he was able to dive in. He is looking now.
This will be a major inconvenience, I can do everything but make a call AS LONG AS I HAVE WiFi, like right now on the boat with Starlink. Well, I have my phone back. So far it looks ok. I have called apple support they said minimize the use of the phone for “a while”.
At this point (6:45 pm local time) my phone is still working fine. But tomorrow is another day.

We have a spinnaker, they look fantastic when flown, but wow! are they a pain!!

The Battleborn tech support guy texted at 9:41 and updated all my charging equipment remotely by 10:13. We didn’t speak, he did it all by signing in remotely, just a few texts.
I got rid of the dehumidifier (I dropped it off at the garbage bins at the end of the dock on my way to lunch. After lunch I picked up my laundry, then back to the boat. It was gone.
Beto worked on the varnish stuff.
