Launch Hilbre at San Carlos

This morning we settled the account with the Marina and at 10:00 a.m. Hilbre was brought up from the yard by tractor and launched into the water. After checking the bilge and ensuring we had no leaks, Hilbre was moved to slip B8. The rest of the day was spent emptying the boat by putting up the Genoa, setting up the outboard pole and the Outboard, deploying the life raft and laying out the cockpit cushions. FInally, we had room to move about the boat without having to step over everything.

John & George relaxing

Because of this work, we had a late lunch before going into Guaymas by bus to pick up money from the Santander Bank. Afterwards we relaxed in the cockpit and had a few drinks.
