It’s 3 days to go till we head south for the Baja Haha and there’s a lot of last minute boat prep to be done.
I finished the port weather cloths just in time for our big sail.

Jim got a new whisker pole and it fit perfectly in our old spinnaker pole holder. Just have to attach some lines and we’re set.

He also reinsulated our freezer compartment which cycles too many times and consumes a lot of energy. We may have to turn it off if it continues to be an energy pig.

I cooked up some chilli for the trip down so I don’t have to be down below cooking all the time. Plan to make a lentil stew but I can’t remember where I stashed the lentils!!!

We placed our new port visors up over the ports. Apparently they help keep the rain out of your window in the tropics without having to close all your ports.

We had to Dremel the top edges off the forward visors as the one I measured right at the back was the only one the visor would fit properly. They do look very cute.

Finally finished the weather cloths I started to make 2 years ago!!!

Jacintha has been busy doing school work and art ie decorating the boat with Halloween decorations. Since we’re back at Marina Cortez in Harbor Island she has been hanging out with some friends Tennyson and Ashton who live aboard on the next dock down. The other day we found them digging mud piles by the shore where Ashton had rowed them there on a little dinghy.

Today as part of Physical Education I put her in her climbing harness and let her swing off the halyard after Jim had gone up to change a light fitting.
