today was meant to be another compete relaxation day and it basically was. around 830 am i was hungry and started rummaging around in the kitchen foraging for food. just as i was doing this aimee pocked her head out of the "cave" and shooed me out of the kitchen promising another egg stack breakfast with one of our last eggs, perfect timing.
i took the time to get our new high power dust buster wired up for palapa power. aimee picked up the dustbuster in las palmas just before we left and it is more like a mini vacuum with a hose and everything. it takes 18 volts 200 mamps and the wall wart provided only works with 220 volt. i rummaged around in our electronics gear and found a targus computer adaptor that put out 19.5 volts and even found the right plug so we are in business. just as i finished this my egg appeared even better than the last few with sautéed mushrooms and cannarian sauce, delicious!
after this i was in a pretty motivated mood so i attacked the fishing lure situation and created this masterpiece with a piece of stainless seizing wire as a leader. apparently i was the only one who found this good looking. we had it in all day and well into the night with no nibbles at all! fyi there is a lead weight in the head of the squid and we had a similar looking red octopus eaten yesterday!
we did have a very relaxing day motoring along ay 1900 rpm and 5.5 kts burning i think about .85 gal per hour. we had some more day spay action and a nap for me and then aimee as well as some butt tanning sessions. we stopped for a swim around 1600 and the water is perfect temp and perfect blue color. the sunset was amazing again and we got some good shots of our selves and the sunset but i thought the fishing lure would be more entertaining to the hard core readers!
after sunset cocktails (we are now completely our of limes) i made us mooshi pork. it actually came out quite well and i even made some mooshi sauce with black been sauce and sweet chili sauce. it tasted amazingly authentic wrapped up in some flour tortillas from las palmas. i think that pretty much does it for cabbage for me. we also had cabbage salad and some tuna wraps for lunch.
will try the fishing thing again manana, any ideas on improvements please send email to my sailpalapa address asap!
cheers,
roger
