Scored a SS boarding ladder at the Nuevo Vallarta swap meet - 2014

Beginning of February 2014 - s\v Elegant'sea is currently in Paradise Village Marina in Banderas Bay Mexico (by Puerto Vallarta)

Some sail boats got stripped of parts as salvage and got demolished in the marina.

The second Nuevo Vallarta swap meet, the first one we missed, I was racing in the Vallarta Cup Race Series. There were still plenty of things to buy. 
Talking shop. Some entire furlers were there along with lots of spinker poles and whisker poles.

This is what we looking for, a boarding ladder. This will work for Debbie and her kayak. We can put this over the side and then Debbie can get into and out of the kayak without us having to use the stern steps when the dinghy is up on the davits. Now how often do you find what you really want at the swap meet? OK we really wanted a four step version but this will do fine. Four steps would have allowed us to get out of the water if swimming but this ladder is also retractable so it stores nicely. Also it is SS and in good shape. We will clean it up and possibly customize the stand offs to fit our hull.
