Honda 9.9 outboard cooling hose clogged again - 2020
We are at the beach dinghy landing here in Zihuatanejo and are working on our Honda 9.9 hp outboard. We have had to fix this once before while here. The beach landing gets a lot of sand up into the cooling hose from the shorebreak.
Another coat of varnish on the helm seat chair arms - 2020
These arms have been rather hard to varnish at anchor. We are in Zihuatanejo and the anchorage is really lumpy and rolly. Anyway, the only place we really have to hang them to dry is by the stern and that is in our way of launching the dinghy and lifting it and they flop around also.
Went for a swim tto clean the anchor chain. 85.2 degree water temp - 2020
Went for a swim this morning to clean the anchor chain. Debbie is making water and said the testing tool showed the water temp is 85.2 degrees F! Yes, it was nice! The air is warm but there is a nice breeze.

Another DaNard dinghy wheel flat!, tire trash! - 2020
This tire is coming apart. It has seen too much salt water. The DaNard Dingy
Wheels have been in use for our 8 years of cruising. I think maybe we should replace the tires and wheels after 5 years as preventive maintenance.

Zihua anchorage boat report - March 2020
Over 40 sail boats in anchorage and also some big power boats. March 2020 in Zihua. A few more sail boats came in today. There are still a few over at Isla Ixtapa (Isla Grande). Guitar Fest will start in a few days. We think a lot of these boats will head to the canal or the puddle Jump. Fun to see every one on the beach!

every 5 - 7 days and about 35 feet needs cleaning.
If we up anchor I clean it anyway. The part in the water and about 15 feet of the part in the sand. The rest of the 100 foot of chain stays good. We swing around and it rubs in the sand and keeps clean. We have 3\8 BBB chain...Acco chain. This is the tropics!
