We had seaweed starting to grow all around the boat so decided we better haul the boat and get bottom painted. The boat yard here at La Cruz was very expensive, so we went the nine miles South to PV and the boat yard there was one third the price and also let you sleep on the boat where the other place did not. We hauled out on Saturday morning and I put on 2 coats of bottom paint which had been difficult to find especially in red.
Also changed the zincs since the boat was out and we were back in the water Monday morning, and back in La Cruz marina just after lunch.
Dorothy got some provisioning done at some different stores in the PV area. Met another Canadian couple from Calgary on Demelza who are also heading down to French Polynesia. Quite the coincidence, their son lives at Tagish Lake in the Yukon.
We are definitely not in as good physical shape as when we left Vancouver. We get lots of walking in but it is not safe to cycle around here and no hills to hike up, so I have started to do a bit of jogging.
