We are replacing our Rule 2000 bilge pump while anchored here in Zihuatanejo.
Went over to Playa La Ropa (in Zihuatanejo) and anchored with stern anchor - 2020
In Playa La Ropa the norm is to stern anchor so we did not disappoint.
Another coat of varnish on the port cap rail while at anchor - 2020
One more coat on the port cap rail and then we will add a couple to the the starboard cap rail.It can be a moving target as it is a bit lumpy in Zihuatanejo as there is all-day panga traffic etc.
Marina Ixtapa and Isla Grande - 2020
We did see a large crocodile here swimming in the marina. No one cleans their bottom here. They go to Isla Ixtapa (Isla Grande). We stopped here for a trip to the mountains.
Guitar Fest Zihuatanejo, Volunteer Meeting - 2020
Teak helm seat arms got filler and a coat of varnish - 2020
It has been a while since we worked on the helm seat arms. While here at anchor in Zihuatanejo I am varnishing the forward eye brow. It needs some filler by a teak plug or two and so do the chair arms. So I pulled them out and mixed up some teak sawdust with some varnish and filled in the areas.
First Time using Settee Double Bed - 2020
Bill, who crewed with us, slept here the days before and after the overnight passages..
During our overnight passages, he slept on the settee unopened. Bill has a C&C Landfall 39' sailboat- another Robert Perry design. He wanted overnight-sailing experience and living-on-the-hook experience so he crewed with us from Bahia de Navidad to Zihuatanejo Mexico.
New 8-inch Schaefer SS cleats installed for spring lines - 2020
We had purchased these Schaefer cleats some time ago. Now anchored here in Zihuatanejo we finally installed them. They are replacing Schaefer 6" cleats we installed back in 2016 that proved to be too small.

Zihuatanejo- Flat in a DaNard Dinghy Wheel - 2020
We got a flat in one of our DaNard Dinghy Wheels.😛 So we took out the tube and replaced it with a spare tube we had. Debbie held one screw driver with the tire out and against the rim. I used our glass hammer and another screw driver to pry the tire off the rim going around it with the screwdriverr.
