Okay, so here's plan B...............as soon as parts turn up for GPS and a second stage regulator for the hookah, wait for a weather window, which will probably mean something like "No tropical depressions expected for the next 48 hours" and make the dash to La Paz. Have spent most of this week provisioning for 2months up in the Sea. Completed most of the projects and just need to get the main GPS back on line and I should be ready to rock and roll. Will buddy boat with one or two other boats. Looking forward to it, not looking forward to unhooking the A/C.
Bees have invaded a boat on Dock 6, obviously looking to set up a new home.
The marina boys have been out with there insecticide, god only knows what they have used, something Toxic.
I had a spare Rule bilge pump which I been meaning to install as a secondary bilge pump. I had already installed the float switch and alarm and today finally got the whole system up and working. Lots of swearing, head scratching and blood spilled but with some wiring diagrams from Rowan , managed to complete task. Of course had to rewire the alarm and float swithc in the process. So hopefully, the spare parts parcels arrive in the next week or so. Then we wait for a gap. Will hit Muertos and then up to La Paz. Stay a few days and then get north , doing mostly day sails .
