One of the big plusses of being in a marina is being able to run the air conditioning 24/7. One of the big negatives of leaving a marina after running A/C 24/7 is that it is hard to adjust back to the heat. Most days have been in the 90s and humid, with the “feels like” temperature close to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat makes us all lethargic. It is hard to sleep, so we’re also tired and a little grumpy.
On Sunday (August 14), Eric broke down and ran the generator all day so we could be comfortable. Eric did go for a swim at one point, but we pretty much holed ourselves up in the boat all day. The cool air gave Christi a burst of energy, and she did chores. She tried out her solar oven again, this time with roasted broccoli, and was successful. Woo hoo!
Temptress pulled out early in the morning, but later in the day the other neighbors that we had gotten to know in the marina, on a boat named Namaste, pulled in.
Nick and Veronica made an awesome dinner for us. They brought the food to us at Kosmos to enjoy the A/C. Later in the evening, the Namaste crew also came over. The adults had a great time, but Keith was bored with the adults’ boat talk.
Here are a couple of shots of the sunrise. The second one is facing Loreto and the moon.
