Arriving back in La Playita Marina, we were preparing for our Canal Transit. First, we discarded our trash; then Sue did the laundry!; we plugged into 110V electricity; turned on the portable air conditioner; took on potable water; washed down the boat; and hired two men to wash the bottom of the boat, removing barnacles, plant growth, polishing the propeller for speed, and changing the shaft collar zinc. Today, I got a haircut! We picked up some provisions, went to the local chandlery for boat supplies, and stopped at a coffee shop! Tomorrow we top off our fuel for the Canal Transit. And the pace will continue towards Sunday, and the Transit! A couple days ago we noticed the engine water temperature was higher than normal. I cleaned the raw water intake basket that was 40% blocked, cleaned the raw water strainer, and replaced the impeller in the raw water pump. Hopefully we will be good to go!
