First of all, welcome to fellow Moody owners. We heard we were mentioned in a correspondence and the web address shared. We're proud Moody owners and the boat is serving us well. She is an amazing sailor.
We're still in Salinas - enjoying this town. It is amazing that you can set your clock to the trade winds. Starting about 0800 they start to build. By afternoon they are really hooting to about 20 knots. At 1800 they start to die and by nighttime they are a mere light breeze. Everyday so far the same schedule. The holding is good - which is important as the boats are packed in pretty closely. Lots of boats on private mornings and many left for the season.
Michael's been making lots of phone calls to the Yamaha dealer in San Juan - talking to the parts people and the mechanics. Of course - it's the islands - so getting through to someone often takes many calls. But we have a Friday appointment with the mechanic in San Juan -so we'll have to rent a car to get there. And we won't leave there until we have a working outboard - once and for all - so you won't have to hear about it anymore!
Last night we dined out in order to get use of the internet. You have to buy a meal in order to use it - and we had to get those IRS forms in! So we had a terrific meal for a bargain price. For $8.95 - salad bar, soup, meatloaf dinner (huge amount of food - enough that BS brought half hers home); and dessert - pie with ice cream! What a deal - plus internet!
Today we walked several miles today to a nice grocery store for some fresh veggies and supplies. It was a nice hike. Tonight - we're hosting sundowners on Astarte with friends from Bristol Rose and Slow Mocean. It's a good excuse to clean the boat up a bit!
