today i had my rudder packing gland restuffed–is awesome to see so much less water enter into my boat!!!! trading some chain for the job well done….this is such a relief,, as i have seen this worsening some over the past few years during which i have owned and maintained this boat— my fears of destroying her as i repair her are lessening– she is a tough bird and awesome boat.
now i will research hurrycame hole hide places for this summer’s adventures in stormdom…

with eva’s brickhouse not condoning the parking of row dinghies on the public beach across the malecon from the restaurant, there is no reason to remain in this cute lil town. the greed mongers have taken over here and are ruining it for the town itself. i will sail out as soon as possible to zihuatenejo and south from there…..
i have been asked to write up a 5 star revue for evas brickhouse in trip advisor, but i dont feel i am able to do that. 5 star restaurants do not serve food with hair of server in it, nor do they brag on being cruiser friendly then turn on those with whom they are allegedly friendly…. go figger.. we be going onward…..

i was anchored on top of a 2’6 in deep rock… in 20 ft water, imagine hitting a bludi rock with keel…ok, so i moved… now i get to row about 2 football field lengths to beach to walk a long way to find foods and get my laundry. is all good–exercise is good for ye– i would rather sail–
jib is going to be finished around my payday, whew– then i can find a place to which to sail i can afford…is pretty, but there is a point….rofl…i am enjoying my time and the places i go—-
and the ericson was defaulted again…. we will find someone who wants to purchase it….
