Today was one of thouse tuff days.
My outboard motor for the Dingy is down again. I think it´s shot for good this time. So I told myself that I´m just going to make the best of it and row. So I took off the motor, stowed it on the boat, and started my mile 1/2 mile row for Club Nautico, I was absolutly drenched in sweat by the time I got to the club. It was then I realized that I forgot to bring my wallet, ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGG!
Anyway, I posted some flyers at the backpacker hotels, and I´m going to start looking for some passengers, I hope to be off to Panama in 7-10 days, I´m really ready to leave Cartagena, I´m dying to go swiming!
I dont think I´m going to rush to fix the outboard, the work-out is nice, and I save money on gas, 2-stroke oil, and repairs.
I have to finish making my series drogue before I head off across the Pacific, I think I´ll work on it later today. If you cruise, and dont have a series drogue, or at least a Para-anchor, please check out http://www.seriesdrogue.com
It´s a really important thing to have, and your first line of defence in bad weather.
Cheers everyone.
Peace, Love, and coconuts.
