Nerw davit winch purchased for backup - 2024

    While cruising up in the Sea of Cortez this past season we had trouble with our davit winch. The remote sensor we found had developed some loose wiring in it. We repaired it by reserved the wires and it started working again. In the interim we had tried using alligator clips on the motor studs and connected to the batteries for on and off, raising and lowering. 

Ordered a Breeze Aero 11′6″ Native Spectrum Inflatable Paddle Board - 2024

Breeze Aero 11′6″ Classic Cypress Inflatable Paddle Board

  We brought this down to Mexico from the US around the beginning of the year. It has been serving me just fine since then. Part of the reason for changing to an inflatable board was the safety factor.

Smart Plug installation - 2024

   We started our "Smart Plug" installation. Also we installed a USB charger where our cigarette lighter plug was underneath the old 30-amp shore power plug. Debbie did all the lazarette work and all the wire connections and the Smart Plug we got installed fine.

New teak outboard motor mount varnished, installed - 2024

Whitecap Industries 60326 Teak Outboard Mounting Bracket

   Our teak outboard motor mount was cracked on the back side. Also, it was beat up after about 10 years of use. We opted for a new one and had Chava varnish it up while we were out cruising the Sea of Cortez. It came out nice and we mounted it. We have a T-setup on our stern for a mounting option. Our outboard is sitting on it already! Purchased from Amazon.

Samsung Galaxy S22+ 256GB smartphone purchased - 2024

 

Samsung S22+ 256GB Green Unlocked

    The smartphone we currently have is not seeing our Starlink router so we can make WiFi calls or VoIp calls. That was a problem when we were out cruising for a couple months in the Sea of Cortez. We had no cell service and wanted to use the internet for calls, but it was not happening.
