We have owned ChezNous since 1975 and cruised from CA to Spain in 1979-80 with our three children. Since then we have enjoyed years of local sailing in the Channel Islands, Catalina and the Sea of Cortez. Now its time to go cruising again. This time just south with not so many deadlines.

Jan 2017 Part Two
Jan 18th we lift the anchor for another short sail to Las Hadas and the chain is covered with really dirty sand slug so Al gets out our cool little saltwater washer hose and the hose fractures into a hundred pieces. It's totally disintegrated from age and heat, so we break out the little blue bucket. Anchored in front of Las Hadas outside the Marina by 12:00. While we were there we paid a small fee to use the dinghy dock. From a distance Las Hadas is as beautiful as it was back when 10 was filmed there but close up it needs some TLC. Still love the architecture.
Suzanne arrived on Sat. The 21st. with watermaker kit in suitcase. It's determined that it may not be possible for Al to rebuild it. In the meantime the generator acting like it's not getting fuel. Sunday Al discovers water in the fuel. Yep, a couple of gals of water in the bottom of one of the fuel tanks from condensation apparently over the summer. So that took all morning bleeding water/fuel into containers and separating it. Then taking dirty water into the marina by dingy in Costco pretzel containers and an open bucket.
