The boat has a propane stove and makes great meals. we broke down and bought a new frying pan that don't stick. What an improvement! I'm getting used to cooking with oil instead of butter, but it doesn't taste the same.
Today, I had the boat to myself most of the day, so I made a new mapset of the bluechart america. Now I can actually see the charts on my gps. Tiny as it is, it will be a back up to the ray marine chart plotter that has no mapping on it. You can see how beautiful the woodwork is inside the boat. I think it is just so well made.
The fridge continues to be a problem child. In Cartagena, we borrowed a vacuum and got it working again, but there must be a small leak in the compressor. It quits, then the captain adds more freon and it works for a while. sometimes he gets too much in and it won't work for a long time. like today. so all the new fresh veggies are sitting out in the heat. That just means I got to eat them up quicker.
The lighting is just so beautiful in the evenings. This is not our boat. It's the view looking out of Portobello Bay from the boat.
The view towards the town of Portobello!
The church of the black christ and the hilltop fort of Portobello.
And the old Balboa Explorer in the bay.
