Life on the Hard in Puerto Lucia


The pictures above will let you know what we have been up to lately. Sidewinder has been ground down to the fiberglass, and David just spent some time circling the spots which appear to still have moisture. In the next couple of days, the tenacious workers will do the cutting that needs to be done, and then she will be ready to begin drying. David and I ventured by bike to the people's mercado in La Libertad yesterday with Johanna and Graham. The market place is huge and is the center of their world. We bought tons of natural peanut butter for David's nutritious addiction, we picked up a few fruits and veggies we needed, and we were awed by the fabulous fish market. We have no refrigeration or freezer, because the unit is water cooled, so we can only keep a few things fresh with ice that doesn't keep for more than a day. We are finishing up the last of the frozen food we were so fortunate to have all this time, and when we leave, we will have everything shut down. We tackled getting the bolts out of the strut and have yet to finally remove the prop, which seems to not be an easy task. Hope all is well with everyone at home.  -Suzi
