Working in the yard in guaymas




Pictures are of (top to bottom) Sunset in the boatyard, Eric and Sherrell from Sarana, view of San Carlos Bay and LoonIII going back into the water.
We arrived in Guaymas during a very hot fall--temps soared in the 90,s which made it very hard to work much longer than 4-5 hours a day. We learned the value of siesta very well. Shortly after we arrived, acquaintences but soon to be friends Aly and Iain from LoonIII arrived and we spent fun times driving around town getting food and water as well as getting to know them. We had first encountered them in an anchorage in the Bunsbys on the west coast of Vancouver Island, then in Sausalito and then in Baja. Also arriving shortly after were Monica and Jack of BellaVia, soon to be our mentors in this project to give Batwing a facelift. Days became work time in morning and early afternoon, then off to internet and possibly water and food shopping, trips to the ferreteria or hardware store then back home to early to bed on the boat. Throw in a weekend day to goof off exploring the coast north and south of Guaymas, trips to San Carlos to visit other cruiser friends, and you have our routine. Wait till we show you pictures of Batwing!
