Scott Taylor, our crew, arrived exactly on schedule 2 days ago, via plane from Austin through Miami and down to Guayaquil. And then by bus to Bahia.
Of course, Dave being Dave, we put him to work immediately. He's completed the final 2 steps on the window leak project--sealing around the windows with aluminum sealing tape and then putting our window screens back up.
He also got assigned to be my 'coolie' for two grocery runs today, lugging 20 lbs of potatoes through the market and back to the boat. And he helped Dave all afternoon getting rigging things done, and hauling the dinghy up on deck.
But the best thing he has done so far is make gourmet pancakes for us for breakfast this morning. This is my kind of crew!
We leave for the Galapagos in the morning. We should be, as usual, able to post updates as we go, so keep your eyes peeled for more progress reports (but, unfortunately, while underway, no pics).
We expect to the trip to take about 5 days. The weather forecast is 10 knots on the beam, so we are really looking forward to... maybe... sailing on this leg!
