Jorge woke up shortly after 0700 this morning. It was overcast. Wanting to get an early start on reassembling the boat, we left the mooring and headed back to the dock by 0745. Breakfast was dockside and then we started working. We were interrupted a few times as we were docked next to the fuel pumps and Jorge was helping the boats tie up as they docked for fuel.

By the way, enclosures do NOT float very well! Jorge was wanting to do some work at the stern so he unzipped one panel of the enclosure. Unfortunately what he unzipped was the only zipper holding the panel and down it went. By the time he got the boat hook, it was sinking like an anchor. Between the muddy colour of the water and the current maybe taking it, it was nowhere to be seen. Luckily it was a panel that we always had rolled up as it was next to the dinghy motor and the swim ladder, therefore was constantly in the way. However in bad weather it would be nice to have it to totally close in the cockpit. Oh well, guess we will have to rig something up for those occasions.

The rest of the morning was uneventful. The rigging was tuned, the straps holding the mast put away, the wood structure for supporting the mast tied, labeled and stored and the boom put on. The skies had cleared and the temperature was rising again. We stopped for a short lunch break in the shade before tackling the sails. The genoa was the first one we put on. The breeze was extremely light and coming from the south, perfect! I'm always glad to get that one done, it is a monster sail. We took a short break in the shade again to cool off before putting up the main. Other than a few minor things, CS'ta Time is set for sailing!

It was another hot day, temp in the boat was 30.7C. However we took more breaks today and there was ever so slightly a breeze making the day more tolerable than yesterday. The showers at the end of the day though made us all feel like a million bucks.

We enjoyed drinks and appetizers with Gilbert and Diana under the trees and then had a wonderful steak supper, complete with wine. Rob and Serena joined us around that time for drinks. I think everyone was quite happy with the day's accomplishments.

We all took mooring balls for the night, a steal at only $5.00. Tomorrow a.m. will be top up with diesel, pump out and then we will be on our way, maybe to Kingston.
