Boat Projects!!

Jerry and I have accomplished some much needed boat projects. 

There are about 3 holes on the dinghy that need to be patched

had to deflate and clean the dinghy

good as new, well kind of, it still leaks a little air

we needed to move the bow roller back farther on the bowsprit for more support of the anchor

Done!!

Anchor chain washed and repainted the length marks

Third solar panel up and installed

Even Skeeter helped with the sail repair of the jib's sun cover

might not be pretty, but it is not going anywhere!!

Back up and ready to roll!!

We even tried to attempt to find where the starboard water tank is leaking from.  After completely draining it we looked inside ( as best we could) to see if there were any noticeable cracks that were leaking.  After some thought,  we think it is baffle that has come loose, so when it is full it starts to bulge and then leak.  We have decided to wait till Panama where we can get some fiberglass repair done.  It still works, so we just filled the tanks 3/4 full, so we still have 360 gallons of water, which is plenty and we have a water maker.   

This is a view of the starboard water tank from behind the settee



a closer view of the opening for the water tank

Trying to take pictures of inside the tank to determine where the tank starts to bulge when it is full

Now don't we worrying about us not having any fun, we still have enjoyed the pool and the social life here at Bahia Del Sol.

I wonder where they got this name idea from??

A really nice deli and restaurant that sells sausages, sauerkraut, cheese, bread and lots more!
