Long Walk

Today we decided to do a little walking - it turned into a lot of walking.
Walking west from the marina was anything but pretty as the beaches were littered with trash of all sorts. So we walked back south along the public beach and with the idea of walking to Costambar - about 1.5 miles. We ended up in the Lifestyle Resorts Club and instead of taking a left, we took a wrong. So after a total of probably 3 hours of walking, we finally made it back to the boat. I guess really we should do this everyday.
We did see some very pretty beaches and the Lifestyles Resort is impressive.
Today Bernardo, one of the marina employees, will bring us a 20amp DC breaker to trade out for the 15amp presently installed on the watermaker boost pump. The 15 was continually tripping which meant the 110v pressure pump (and very expensive $$) would run dry momentarily until we would reset the 15dc breaker. RO Watermakers tech guy advised that we go to the 20amp as our problem was not a new one. Unfortunately, we are unable to use our watermaker here in the marina as the water is not clean - typical of marina water. So we buy water for .20 Gal, which is also about average for water down here.
