Update on our...uh..."sinking" boat. The Capt called me last night from Barra de Navidad and said he was standing in the cabin so I knew right away that reports of her demise were greatly exaggerated. Apparently when Fred said four inches of water, he was talking about four inches below the cabin sole. No wading required. That is a high water level and does need attending to. Fred apparently either couldn't get the bilge pump started or didn't know how, so the Capt's presence was required. But (grumble) it's too bad I couldn't clone him, because he's needed here, too.
Anyway, when he left the boat in April he had several boat projects not quite finished, so he'll putter until Tuesday, when he'll have to catch a midnight bus back to Guadalajara Airport, spend the night there and catch the early flight back to Sonora. And then we move the big stuff to the condo and start settling in.
