Roy did a wonderful job of replacing the old water heater with the new one! It's now connected to the motor and after we check the antifreeze level tomorrow we'll be able to put the boat back together. For the past few days everything from the starboard side of the boat has resided in the salon and cockpit. To celebrate the successful installation we treated ourselves to a nice dinner at Azul, the primo restaurant here at Costa Baja marina, actually listed as the best in all of La Paz on some websites. We had a nice visit after dinner with folks on Moon Drifter and Iron Rose.
We have another perplexing problem: a foul odor in the watermaker area -- we'll get on that tomorrow, hopefully identify its source and fix it! We expect high winds and seas over the weekend, but with luck on our side, we'll leave the marina on Tuesday. Our plan is to SAIL and not turn the motor on until we head back into the marina.
