Repairs

The plan was to haul out in Ensenada, but I might be able to haul out at a private yard here. Judy and Tammy were having problems trying to fold a sail yesterday and asked a passerby for help. He stopped to help and instructed them on the proper procedure. They got to talking and he offered to try to fix the water maker.
He also offered to help me with the repairs and said he might be able to get the boat hauled here for a decent price at a yard that will let us do our own work. If so, we might do it here instead of Mexico. We have not been hearing good things about Mexico's prices of late. At the Marinas they want from $2 a ft. to $3.50 a ft. a day for a slip. It looks like American greed has reached our southern neighbors.

This is some of the work that has been added to my agenda recently.

I'm sure there is something I have omitted, or forgotten, that will rear its ugly head at the most inopportune moment! Today I will meet with the person concerning the haul out and start working on the raw water intake. Damn, this is getting expensive!
 
Oh! I picked up a couple of Rapalla lures yesterday that are supposed to keep the freezer full of Mahi Mahi and Dorado. That is if we ever get to the Sea of Cortez.
