Sunrise, Tuesday August 30<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the sun was rising, a fleet of little fishing pangas came roaring into the bay and stopped suddenly near our boat. They fished for maybe an hour, then roared back out as fast as they came in. We heard several conversations between Americans, so we are guessing that tourists hire the pangas to take them fishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eric had spent Monday evening trying to figure out how to fix the AC water maker. He realized that there was a way to re-set the computer on the AC water maker to keep it running despite the sensor indicating that the water was too salty. On Tuesday morning, he got up early, emptied out the lazarette so he could get to the water maker, took the water maker apart, turned the setting dial behind the control panel, tested it, and then put the water maker back together. He is pleased to report that it worked, and the AC water maker is again operational!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In the afternoon, we went snorkeling in The Bathtub. It was high tide and we\u2019re guessing the water was about ten feet deep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottom was mostly sand, so there wasn\u2019t much to see beyond clams and rays, but we did swim over quite a few rays sitting in the sand and got a great look at them. One looked pregnant.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With only a crescent moon, the stars were vibrant after dark. As Eric was getting Kosmos situated for the night, he heard coyotes singing in the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday was a windy day, which meant good ventilation. Ventilation helps so much with the oppressive heat. The anchorage calm despite wind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the morning, Eric changed generator oil, Christi cleaned the bottom, and Ruby took Keith snorkeling. In the early evening, we went back to The Bathtub. Eric and Keith snorkeled. Christi had already done a lot of swimming and was tired, so she sat on the strip of land between the bays and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. She watched six dolphins playing in the main part of Don Juan and watched the birds flying around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a sunset photo. After dark, the coyotes were singing again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
