Our new (replacement) Garmin radar is working great! - 2021

Our new Garmin GMR 18 xHD radar dome is working great! It has been about two years since we have had a working radar. One year it worked on/off and the next it died. We brought the radar dome down in a suitcase (bearly fit) and tested it while it was sitting on the deck. Worked great.

Lunch at La Cruz Inn with Sam and Dave from s/v Islena - 2021

The other day we had a good lunch at La Cruz Inn with Sam and Dave from s/v Islena (which they are selling). The boat was in the yard for final inspection by the buyers etc. We are happy and sad at the same time, as we are sure they are. We have known them for many years from the same dock in San Diego to here in Mexico.

Finished off Clark pump rebuild of the Spectra Ventura 200T water maker - 2021

Finished off our Clark pump rebuild of the Spectra Ventura 200T water maker. The piston rod took a little sanding on one end to make a chamfer so we could get it through the seals. Also we replaced the plastic spring washers with new stainless steel ones on the check valves. All new "O" rings for the check valves and etc. That finished it off. All done now and ready for the piston cylinders to be reinstalled. We will do that at the boat and put in the new membrane when we get back.
