Here is the sunrise on Sunday (August 21).
Sunday was oppressively hot again. Eric got a very early start on the dive compressor. He reassembled the third stage. Sadly, the compressor still didn’t work. He took off the final pressure safety valve and cleaned it. It looks like this may be the part that is broken, but he doesn’t have a spare. He gave up on the project and put the compressor back into its mount, along with all the gear stored in around it. He was frustrated that he again put so much effort into the repair for nothing. There was another boat with the same compressor that left a couple day ago, and he is hoping to perhaps find them and try swapping in the part to verify it is the problem.
We wound up spending the day holed up on the boat, enjoying the A/C. Brett came over and the boys played. Christi and Eric did a few chores. In the evening, Eric went to the pool for social hour while the kids and Christi stayed at Kosmos.
Here is the sunrise on Monday. Christi thinks the cloud looks like a dragon.
Monday morning we did chores. Eric got an early lunch at the little taco stand/car wash across the street from the marina. He said the food was great.
In the afternoon, Brett, Brett’s brother Dominick, and another cruiser girl named Emma, who had recently arrived, came over for a role playing gaming session.
We went for an early dinner at a sushi restaurant near the grocery store called Yamai Y Li. The rolls were huge — twice as big as what we normally get in the US. Pictured is a banana roll — inside is avocado, cucumber, carrot and cream cheese and the outside is banana with eel sauce. Normally, Christi and Eric each eat two rolls, but the rolls here were so big that neither of us could even finish one.
We also stopped at a the historic bakery for dessert on the way back. As the sign indicates, the Fernch-owned company Boleo built this bakery in 1901 because French people can’t live without bakeries. Apparently, the facade has never been changed. The pastries were fantastic.
After dinner, Eric and Keith went to the pool.
Tuesday morning we set out for the grocery store early, wanting to get back before it got too hot. Emma and Brett came over and adventure role playing in the afternoon. We all went to the pool in the evening.
