Breakfast off the roach coach at Paradise Village marina - 2021
This is a nice little routine we get into a couple times a week or so. We go to the Paradise Village public launch ramp which is located in the middle of the marina. A handy place and right off the truck the home made food is great.
New cockpit cushions ordered - 2021
Oscar came by and we had a good talk about cockpit cushions. Debbie and I have been wanting to get new ones for a long time. There are four and they get real uncomfortable especially if doing overnight sails etc.
Our complete boat cover inside and out - 2021
This is the look of our finished boat cover for our Islander Freeport 36'sail boat. We can put it up with our without the main sail and stack pack still on the boom. Some people have the cover also cover the sail but we remove our sail for hurricane season.
Both dorad covers now done for summarizing the boat - 2021
Both of our dorad covers are now done. Debbie finished off second one a day or so ago. It will keep these dorads clean and any bugs out etc during the summer.
Grab rail covers completed with new modifications - 2021
Debbie finished off the new grab rail covers by making a couple of modifications. I do a light sanding and a couple coats of varnish each year. We love the teak and it softens the boat from all the steel and plastic. Our Islander Freeport 36' has just the right amount of teak for us.
New forward stays went on today - 2021
Our new stays.
Our two new forward stays (wire rope and swages) were replaced today. We plan on replacing some of our standing rigging each year. We replaced the back sty in 2012 with the new ICOM M802 SSB antenna.

Taking the Spectra Ventura Watermaker 200T Deluxe apart to take out of the boat and then fit in suit case.
A cover for our electrical cabinet inside our lazarett - 2021
Another long time coming project done. This is a cover for our electrical cabinet inside our 1978 Islander Freeport lazarett. We have not found it necessary to open this lazarett in a rainstorm but never say never.
Banderas Bay here in Puerto Vallarta has never had a direct hit by a hurricane - 2021
Banderas Bay here in Puerto Vallarta) has never had a direct hit by a hurricane! There has never been any major damage to boats by a hurricane. None ever knocked over on jack stands etc. In the nine years we have been around the Mexican Reverie we have only seen one tidal surge and some rain from one hurricane. No winds. We are glad we are here!
Engine through hull valve handle moved - 2021
New handle placement.
Just a small thing but it makes life easier and because it was a small thing took me like year to get it done! It is nicer now for the four times a year or so we use it.
Standing rigging-forward stays - 2021
The standing rigging on our 36' Islander Freeport we are starting to replace. The first two stays to get replaced will be our forward lower stays
We used the c.s. osborne sewing awl to sew the straps on boat cover - 2021
There are lots of straps on our boat cover and some are real long because it was made for us to customize if we like. Some just leave them however we do not just put on the cover (or have it put on) an fly away.
Our Delta, Touch Control faucet quit working on touch - 2021
Our Delta, Addison Series, Touch Control-Pull down kitchen faucet (Down We chose a Stainless Steel Finish) has not been working properly. We have been using this for 10 years and it has been great. After some time recently the flow has slowed. It did work great when we installed it. We tried taking it part for cleaning rtc but it did not help.
Our Garmin autopilot is still working good from the 6 years ago failure - 2021
6 years ago Debbie sat inside the lazerett and tested our Garmin under-deck autopilot drive A unit with a multimeter. The rudder sensor went out on us as we were leaving Acapulco this last season. The rudder sensor, as it turns out, is dead. Now for the warranty replacement issues ect.
Debbie put backing on the forward modification to the sail cover - 2021
Debbie put some Sunbrella backing on the male stainless steel dot fasteners so they would not mark up the mast. I can get the mars off but we did not want the marks to get worse. This modification Debbie did to the front of the sail cover makes using our whisker pole much easier. We use it as a whisker pole to pole out the jib when we have the genoa as a jib and for our flopper stopper at anchor.
The Puerto Vallarta machine shop for buffing and welding - 2021
This is the machine shop we go to in Puerto Vallarta. Not much to look at compared to some of the shops these guys have worked at but they now are working for themselves. Have been for a couple years now.
