4th of July


So today is the fourth of July. Hurahh! we of course had a celebration here, Katie, and the rest of them worked really hard in the kitchen and we had a marvelous dinner! with homemade apple pie! I dont hink i have ever tasted a better apple pie! it was unbelievable!


The moring started out fine, i had to wait untill high tide to move the boat to the sea wall that Juan operates for drying the boats out. i had to go over there to pick up the roller furling profile sence it would be to risky taking it by dinghy, or panga.

the whole process was done in the rain, but i guess what can you expect from the rainy season!
after getting the furler on board, i went and re anchored. then atached the furler to the mast head, and the bowsprit.
then i went ashore with my dink, and ammo for the fourth of July Party.
the rest of the evening was quite relaxing. i fired quite afew rounds from my homebuilt canon (quite loud! made every dog in the whole of golfito bark!)
the smoke is impersive, and the flames coming out the end! ugh really cool, i got alot of aplous form the rest of the crusiers here. its really loud, if your fairly close your ears ring for a bit.
well thats the day,
Live Life to the Fullest!
