Ah the ups and downs (not just the boat movement either), of getting into the 'routine', as if there could ever be one on a moving, constantly working vessel. We're happy to be out of the shipping traffic around Punta Mala, and have again been thankful we put AIS instrumentation in. Our wind has not been consistent, hence many sail changes along with running the engine if we run out of patience and want to go 'find' the wind. We've not kept to a formal watch schedule; with Michael doing the repairs (one being when the engine FW pump pulley fell off (yikes!), and he had to hunt down the nut and woodruff key in the bilge!) Don't even ask how this stuff happens....I hand steered during that project, while a pod of dolphins entertained me with their antics for two hours...their contrails of luminescence putting on an wonderful underwater show. The water maker is getting recommissioned in stages, as M will have to take apart the March pump to find out why it's acting cranky....We'll try to do daily position updates, and Yotreps will also have us listed under M's Ham call sign of KJ4IHF; please don't worry if you don't see an update; sometimes we get too busy to do entries. All's well aboard the sv Infini.
