Fianl Countdown

Picked up Dorothy at airport Monday, she was loaded down with goodies for the boat and some bars we like that you can not get down here. The boat is ready to go now, just got to top of the main water tank soon and a bit more provisioning. We need basic food for 3 months, as there is no good stores until we get to Tahiti. The Marqueses have some stores but we hear they are pretty basic and not much of the stuff that travels well on a boat.
Finally got the chartplotter/radar unit working again with the display unit Dorothy brought back. On Friday we are hoping to do our check out at Neuvo Vallarta. We will go the 5 or 6 miles up there and tie up at port captain dock and checkout with him and apparently he will call the customs officer down do finish the clearance and then we are issued our Zarpe which we need for the next country we visit. Went out for dinner last night with the crew of Demelza.

  1. Brian and Dorothy ,
    Have a great voyage.
    Here's to fair winds , smooth seas, enough rest , little ship traffic,and no gear failures on board the 'Tagish'.

    We will look for your next message (after you leave PV) from Atuona on Hiva Oa or Taiohae on Nuku Hiva, in about a month.
