back to Puerto Rico
Quick update, as we made it back onto the boat in Puerto Rico. Actually, I am going to post this on the boat blog and my personal blog, so it will be the same info. Then I can get back to cleaning, cuz there is no shortage....
Flight was a flight, at least it is non stop from LAX to SJU. Although I am sure that AA has the most uncomfortable large seats in the front I have ever been in. Plus they are slippery.....
We got off the plane and had all but one of our bags...surprising how many less people check bags nowadays now that they charge! Unfortunately, we got down to the end and their was only one loan bag going around that looked just liked ours but was not ours..You know what that meant!
I had the bright idea to see if they had a cel phone # on the bag and they did! So I called her and they were in the bus to the car rental place. I heard her turn to her husband and say "honey you picked up the wrong bag" and then to me "did you get it at Costco?" Yep... that was a stroke of luck that she had her number on the bag!
We were at the doors of Costco before it opened....
First, 8 batteries went into the car and then a ton of supplies. The first of many trips.... Doesn't he look happy to be here? I thought so too!
Back to the boat where we found Connor all fresh from a summer off and a young pair of hands to help load....
The blessed boy had even got the awning tacked up so we had some shade which was really a bonus....
And then had the "where do I start look?"
But there was a mother and baby manatee to welcome us back to the boat which is always nice here....
So, I am off to cleaning, the boys are out shopping again to get the other 8 batteries they need and who knows what else. I took a quick video of the mildew that seems to be everywhere even though I washed everything with vinegar before we went away. It truly smells like closed up old boat on here...
No the bilge pump in the crew head does not work, nor the a/c in my cabin, nor the fan in my cabin, nor the hot water heater....Typical stuff that always seems to happen and break when you are away which is amazing, it is not like the stuff has been used!
