Our Achilles LSI-310E dinghy is now all pumped up and ready to go.
We are being delayed by weather for rounding Cabo Corrientes (Cape
of Currents) and decided to put the dinghy together now instead of at Tenacatita. We have been using the Ocean Kayak Malibu Two kayak to get around but for provisioning etc. we would like to use the dinghy.
February 2018 - Currently in Marina Vallarta, Banderas Bay Mexico (Puerto Vallarta Jalisco)
We decided to pump up the dinghy on the dock rather then the foredeck of the boat - may or may not have been the best decision as we had little room to walk around.
We also decided to put the chaps on before completely inflating the tubes. This seemed like a good method as the chaps went on easily and seemed to snug-up nicely!
We had shade for most of the inflation/chap process, which was nice!
Debbie in the dinghy, while it was tied to the dock, t
o finish the chaps installation along with installing the floor cover.
It was later in the morning and in full sun so quite warm!
Strapped in tight and ready to go around the Cape. We will have our Ocean Kayak Malibu Two Kayak and the Starboard Whopper ASAP SUP strapped down on the foredeck. The dinghy up high on the davits is out of harms way. We could get "pooped" and the dinghy would not get touched.
