Middle of February 2013 – Anchored in Barra-Bahia de Navidad lagoon
In these pictures it is a great day, currently though it is blowing an easy
25 knots through here. White caps and oh well the 45 Bruce is holding us as
it likes to - nice and firm! It is sunny and other wise a beautiful day. Some white
caps and chop but no swell or current to speak of.
Divers installed two through hulls for HVAC and anchor wash down pump- 2012
Before we left on the Baja HA-HA on 10-29-12 in San Diego we had divers come by and put in two under water through hulls (TH) with valves and add a scoop to a third, the water maker one. The divers did a nice job. We got two 3/4 “ through hulls installed. One for the 12000 btu Mermaid HVAC unit and one for the wash down pump.

Anchored in Chamela (Perula Bay), It rained for three days and three nights - 2013
Beginning of January 2013 - Anchored in Chamela (Perula Bay)
After this video the swells kept building and the rain intensified.
It rained for three days and three nights and on the third day it rained hard, and I am talking really coming down for a good eight hours straight. The storm came out of the South and the anchorage in Chamela Bay has no protection from a south swell, wind etc. We got big rolley swells and some high winds but it was the swells that were concerning at times. They at one point were getting so big I thought the waves might start breaking as they came through the anchorage, they did not.
Enjoying the pool at Barra Marina, Grand Isla Navidad Resort - 2013
Beginning of February 2013 – Barra Bahia de Navidad - Barra Marina
Ok we are
at the Grand Isla Navidad Resort
and Marina Puterto da la Navidad.
Not
anything to dislike at this five star resort!
There is
a Super Bowl Party tomorrow and should be a good social event for us.
Now we think the
pool is not as fun as El Cid Marina's but it is a close second.

2 stroke verses 4 stoke outboard? We went for 4 stroke - 2013
Beginning of February 2013 – Barra - Bahia de Navidad - Marina Puerto de la Navidad(Barra Marina)
When we were in San Diego, CA say six months before we left on the Baja Ha Ha 2012 which was less than
a year ago people on the docks would be saying that two strokes were king in
Mexico. That we should even go to Arizona and purchase a two stroke because they
still sold them there and you could get a good one at a fresh water lake etc. That
in Mexico no one knew how to work on four strokes and there were no parts.
Tried again with the wash down pump
Late January 2013 – Barra lagoon
We tried again with
the wash down pump. This time we got it moved but it would not prime. It says
no more than 6’ from the source and so I guess they meant it. It was about a
foot or so more.
After returning the pump to its former location and having to
mess with the pump to get it to prime I think I found the reason. It had an air
lock and after removing the out hose and letting the pump work a bit to shoot
out some sea water it worked fine.
Debbie doing wiring to new terminal block.
Now to move it again. Only this time we will
just make the hose longer at first to see if it will still work. We had to modify
some plumbing and wiring last time to move the pump. At least now it is in the
right orientation.
The usual, empty some things from the hanging locker and dig out some tools.
