It is a lot of work tearing the boat down to leave it during hurricane season. All the sails, canvas and everything that creates windage has to be removed and stored down below. Luckily, together Scott and I make a good team and in a little more than a day we have it done. The dingy is deflated and drying ready to store down below and the main sail will be put down below right before we leave since we didn’t take the battens out so it needs to lay down the hallway. All we have left to do is take the covers off of the hatches and tin foil the portlights we have opened remove bbq and minor little things which will wait until Monday night to do.

I have two more nights worth of food and then Monday we’ll venture up to Tailhunters for our last dinner in La Paz for the season. Tuesday morning we’ll take the bus to San Jose del Cabo and spend 4 nights at the timeshare before we board the plane on Saturday. We had only planned on two days at the timeshare but we worked faster than we thought and they have available units open so heck, we’ll sleep in air conditioning and swim in the pool for a couple extra days.

The work wouldn’t be possible if we hadn’t gone and bought us one big 110v fan. It’s called the Hurricane and it has been a godsend while the temps are getting to 104 at their peak during the days. In 30 days someone remind me what heat from the sun feels like will ya?
