VGYH In the water



     Well we made it into the water today. For some reason we couldn’t get the radar working but after a bit of tweaking, it works. Cutoff switch to the motor now works again…  It looks like it just needed the connections cleaned. Kolibrie is now sitting in the marina waiting for her sails to go up. She sure is a pretty boat, both on the hard and in the water. We just don’t have any energy left today to tackle the sails.
     We have internet now that we're out of the boatyard and in the marina. It’s a low signal that comes and goes but any will work for me. Now we just wait for a weather window. The next couple days they're talking winds 20-25 mph and 30mph gusts so I'm not sure when we'll get the sails up or what shape they're in. Hopefully our little visitor didn't get to them... the little fella went after our upholstery and the teak in the cabin this year! grrrrr.... It is nice to feel a gentle sway under us and breeze blowing through the boat. There was no breeze where we were in the boatyard. The building blocked the winds, quite efficiently! Here we seem to have plenty LOL
     Wow, sitting here in the cabin, I looked out behind us and saw a huge catamaran right off our stern, inches from our dinghy… Is it yacht week again? Angel (a guy who works on boats and charters here) behind us took off and the folks on the cat jumped ashore to get provisions. Don’t know who maneuvered it but they did a good job of getting back out (course they could back into the spot where Angel had vacated).
