We have a brand new inflatable. We
brought down our 25Hp with us last time and brought home the 9.9Hp.
The inflatable is heavier than the last one and plus our davit is not
in a position good enough to lift it up with a building in the way.
So, on Friday the Marine Center here put it in the water for us. I
took pictures as you may be interested how they go about putting
inflatables in and out of the water. Right after ours went in, one
was sitting in the water to come out.
We took out T/T (Tender
To Coyaba)
out for a “test drive”. Unfortunately water was leaking through
the hole at the back of the boat where the water was suppose to
exit.... called the drain hole/thru hull. This was easily fixed by
Paul, of course. We have it on a sea doo ramp locked up at the dock
right now. Once we get Coyaba in the water, we will use the davit to
lift it out of the water.
No pictures, but we did put a brand new
winch on for the davit (from Princess Auto). This is so much quieter.
I felt like all eyes were on us in an anchorage when we lowered our
dingy or raised it up. The radars, radios and alarms are all working
as Paul tested everything out today.
The Customs and Border Protection has
their school here as I've mentioned before. I took a picture of the
boat you cannot outrun. This weekend they had about 7 in the water
here at the marina. I have not seen one woman in training here, all
men.... good looking too in full uniform but I'm sure they are
sweating with all that equipment and guns attached to their bodies. It is funny to hear their teacher telling them how to park these boats. I hear them yell "back up, back up" , "slow down" etc. ... which I am sure would be the same for me if Paul was telling me how to park this catamaran!
