finding parts or the right guy to do anything contact Greg Heath on the net. He's an x-pat whom I've known for years from Dana Point. He's lived in La Paz for 15 years. Where are you going to leave the boat or are you bring her back up again? Brendon's almost ready. I have to get the water maker back on line, replace a few lines, fix the up switch on the port anchor windless. I want to install a back up auto pilot as well. I'll remove and store it but have it just in case. A couple of years ago I was helping deliver a cat from Puerto Rico to Florida and the auto pilot failed in the Mona Passage. We were crossing to the Dominican Republic and we had to hand steer for an entire day! Boy, did that suck. Having to do that for a week would put me in a really foul mood and Denny would not be happy with me. The Perkins is now leak proofed, painted and with a new heat exchanger and salt water pump. Brendons got new bilge pumps, a wind instrument and I'm servicing both freezer and refrigerator units this week. We'll be moving back on board in a couple of months to get back into the routine. Yepee! Street tacos in La Cruz, here we come!
