The storm has let up some. It rained almost constantly of and on for the last 24 hours. But there are still some gusty winds. The yacht club here has a race week here, but yesterday there just was no way to go out. They have a large fleet of Optimist dinghies for the youth program.
This morning we had quite a spectacle next door. The Mexican sail training ship “Cuauhtémoc” was departing. The Bulgarian sea cadets were seeing them off in a formation with their rifles and fixed bayonets. On leaving the dock the Mexicans played recorded national anthems and it was definitely a great show our southern Hermanos put on. Thyey are on a cruise of the Black Sea and Mediterranean.
Raymarine has a representative here and the father and son operation came down to the boat to fix my two broken auto pilots. They also checked my masthead wiring and it looks like I may have to go up to the top of the mast after all for the strobe and anchor light. They think that it might be a burnt out bulb. Anyway I really just need the tri-color for now.
