2/19/2015 - On Wednesday morning we launched Wiz and the water stayed on the outside and the diesel started right up! We got in the slip and worked on getting the
sails up before the afternoon winds came up.
The car on the genoa roller furling was hanging up badly on several of
the joints in the foil. I spent a couple
of hours in the bosun's chair filing and polishing the joints so the car would
travel smoothly. Finally got it, and
raised and furled the genoa just as the wind piped up. All the other systems seem to be working, though
we have not started the outboard. Sold
the old inflatable dingy so we may put the new one together tomorrow. Went to Guaymas today and did some
provisioning. The exchange rate is the
best we have ever seen it. We got nearly
15 MXN per USD at the ATM. Gas, however is still roughly twice as expensive as home, not sure why. Check out how you buy Acetone here. They decant it into a used water bottle and tape a skull and crossbones on it!?
