I do like it here at this anchorage. The wind blows some and it makes electricity with the wind generator. The Sun is always shining so the solar panels are doing well also. But the best thing is that the sea state is almost always flat. Except for the occasional panga or tour bat going back and forth from Stone Island, it is without a ripple of a wake. Then there is the Baja Ferry that comes and goes a couple of times a day, and the large fishing boats that go in and out the channel. But the breakwater they have built is a very good one and life is good at anchor here. I have made a couple things happen while I have been here. Deciding that I would not need a clothes washer –dryer unit has opened up the main salon for a full settee gain, like it was originally. Only issue is the lack of materials. So using the cabinet from the washer dryer, I have made an extension for the settee. Actually I had started it in San Blas at anchor in Matanchen bay. That is where I said good bye to my 18 volt cordless circular saw. Yep, it got knocked overboard and went to its death in 15 feet of salt water. With battery, and well, it would be useless to get it out so I left it for some diver to find and wonder about… I painted a bunch of the wood today till I ran out of paint. I need to get some and finish it.
