May 2017 | MONTH IN REVIEW


Here's a quick summary of what we were up to this month.

  • The rainy season came early this year and was officially announced on May 12th.
  • It's been almost 9 months, and we're still working through our ever growing list of boat projects and repairs. We're slowly making progress, but many times it's like we're regressing {big time}. It's one step forward, few steps back.
  • We spent a lot of time re-assembling the engine, but hit a roadblock with the alignment of the alternator belt. We spent another couple of weeks troubleshooting it.
  • We also replaced the insulation in the engine compartment, serviced the steering wheel chain, replaced the nuts and bolts at the base of the jib stay and back stays (read '8 Bolts in 5 hours!' post).
  • To be honest, it's been kinda hard trying to keep motivated. The never ending work list really takes a toll on us.
  • We met our friend Rene on S/Y Yoyo again whom we met when we first arrived in Powerboats in 2015.
  • We tried our best to complete the jobs before our 2nd visa extension expires (June 13th). But realistically, we knew it wasn't going to happen, so last week, we bought the cheapest tickets we could find to Miami, Florida.
