It seems like each day the mercury rises a little bit here in the Sea...and the locals say it's just getting started. During the REAL heat of the summer they call it "the triple 100's" that means that the air temp is 100+, the humidity is 100+ and the water temp is 100. I think they are probably exaggerating the water temp...but not by much, as it is already well into the 80's. When at anchor you are able to jump into the water to try to cool off...but in the marinas that would be a last resort..and one I may be doing soon. All that said, I think my decision to return to the states for a couple of months, is going to turn out to be a wise one. Si Bon does have an air conditioner on her, but I haven't turned it on for nearly a year. If you don't exercise boat systems they tend to deteriorate and I would hate to cause myself more problems by turning on something that isn't really very effective on an uninsulated boat anyway. So I'm slowly chipping away at the things I need to do to Si Bon before I leave. Yesterday I did a little checking into getting a small Casita or condo for a week or so while I prepare to leave mexico sometime around the middle of the month. I want to try to look at a couple of places today. Well it's 0645 and it's already hotter than....well let's just say it's hot...so I need to grab some water and get going.
