Sailing Banderas Bay, great day - 2019

 Not much wind right now but a lovely day and we are moving under sail! And of course a whale show in Banderas Bay!

Debbie washed the settee cushion covers - 2019

Debbie decided it was time to wash the settee cushion covers. Not an easy job because you have to remove and replace them squishing the cushion back into the covers. But they sure look nice even though they did not look that dirty at the time😊

HVAC flush is set up and working with Barnacle Buster - 2019

 Our Mermaid Marine Air 5200 btu HVAC unit needed a good flushing. It put out more water and cooler air. The scum inside the sea water cooling prevents the unit from exchanging heat to get it out making the units air warmer.

Edison step has new brackets for hull - 2019

I dropped one of the snap shackles we use to hold the Edison Step into the drink while adjusting the height of the step. We had set this up in 2016. So I found a piece of flat stainless steel in the bilge and had it re-purposed for this project.

HVAC flush is getting set up and almost ready - 2019






First off, I want to plug in the bilge pump into the 12 volt outlet. 
Ok wait, I mean after I replace this old rusty one😁

Hydraulic shop for dive regulator and Honda EU2000i run cap elbow - 2019

Debbie at the hydraulic shop (in Las Juntas, Jalisco). We went here for a couple of items. I wanted a fitting pressed onto my dive hose so my backup regulator would screw right on. Also an elbow for the extended fuel line hose.

Honda EU2000i generator extended run hose built - 2019

I built our extended run hose from parts we purchased from Amazon and the local hydraulic shop. This is for our Honda EU2000i generator and our Achilles LSI-310E dinghy Honda 9.9 hp outboard outboard engine fuel tank.

New salon hatch shade awning - 2018

 Debbie is going to make a shade cover for this Bomar -Pompanette LLC Hatch hatch. This cover we will be able to use at anchor or at the dock to keep out the sun and at night the dew. 

It is paddle boarding time and loving it at Paradise Village Marina - 2019

 Chickening out and taking the inside way between the boats instead of the other side of the dock which is the channel side I am taking off my flip flops on my first Paradise Village Marina paddle, crocks be damned! 

Another Yay! We have the Mermaid 5200 btu unit HVAC working with our EasyStart™ 364!

Yes, here is the setup completed. 
The Mermaid Marine Air 5200 btu starts up now like the 12000 btu unit in that the only noise you hear is the fan pushing out cold air or heat which ever is needed.

We are changing our "Home Port" - 2019

Our home port was "San Diego, CA". 
We are also thinking of doing something to spruce up "Elegant'sea". 

Stern steps get cleaned with Te-Ka and then a coat of Teak Wonder - 2019

These steps were really getting dirty. They had some black dirt\water stains I could not get out with a light sanding and scrubbing with bleach and soap. So I tried the Te-ka on them and they came out really good. 

A trip to Tepic for a medical test - 2019

We made this trip for medical reasons (Debbie needed a nuclear medicine bone test, not available in Puerto Vallarta), so while here we decided  to have a look around.
  And this is the church in the square in Tepic where the main market is.

Ya!! We have the EasyStart 364 working for our Mermaid 12000 btu HVAC! - 2019

Our Mermaid Marine Air 12000 btu electrical boxes. The new one on the right we have been using while we use the original to figure out the wiring and components.
