New cutters, adjustable wrenches and hydrometer - 2022

 Picked up a few tools that we needed. The adjustable wrenches we needed one of really. It locked up and I tried to free it but no good. Happened to remember that so, got some. I use them for through hull valves and fittings etc. They are ok if I have room and it is not too critical as they will not grip like the correct size wrench for the job. October 2022 - s/v Elegant'sea is currently in Paradise Village Marina in Banderas Bay Mexico (by Puerto Vallarta)

 Also, some wire--tie cutters. They cut close so out helps prevent the nasty little cuts to my arms and hands that can give. We also got some gauntlets to help with that. And lastly a hydrometer for testing our wet cell deep cycle batteries. Yes, we are old school. Ours are LTH, made and easy to get here in Mexico. The hydrometer will help us get an idea of where they are in their lifespan. When our Master Volt AGM batteries died (seven years) we switched to the wet cells for price, and they are easy to get here. 
 The hydrometer is light and easy to store, now to get it back without breaking it. The water for the batteries is getting harder to get. We got the last batch in Las Juntas, Puerto Vallarta.
 Danny on s/v Cyclades explained to us how to make it but we have not gotten to that point, yet

The wire cutters wear out, so they get replaced. The wrenches are i hope the last tools we need to purchase, till I drop one over the side or break a tip off a screwdriver or some other mishap.
