How lucky is it that we are tied up ahead of a big boat with a tender on a floating platform! Changed out the 15?19 for the 15?21...we will see if it works out better. (Update, nope changed back!) One note of caution the newest Suzuki props need a different spacer!!!!!

A while ago someone asked how common Suzuki\'s are in Mexico, they are a large part of the market here especially on the pangas. Yamaha must be pricing themselves out of the market as I am seeing mostly older ones along with a mix of Hondas. The Sea is very salty and after a run huge salt crystals encrust anything recieving spray.

Replacing the failed year old Rule 1500 with a Rule \"Gold\" 5 year warranty one that just snapped in and is a 2000. Gotta love La Paz, walked across the street to a little marine store and they had a stack of pumps, easier than at home! Glad I have wiring stuff on board but I\'m sure they also have all that. .

Our Icom 706 II G SSB/Ham (shortwave, HF) transceiver allows us to check in with the morning safety nets and get a weather forecast every morning, as there is no cell or NOAA here in remote areas. We checked in to both the Ham and non ham SSB nets and they were amazed that at how clear our signal was with a whip antenna all up and down Mexico. (My ground plane install might be over the top but it really works)
