Well, we received confirmation that the parts are here, and they have cleared customs. Unfortunately, there seems to be some problem on the part of the agent here in getting them down to he customs dock for us to pick them up. The latest UPS status says that they attempted delivery last nite at 4:51 PM, but no one was there to sign for it. We will go ashore this AM to see whether they tried to make a delivery today. We will also call the agent and start to complain… And we have already sent an email to UPS complaining about this agent, so maybe we can light a fire here.
We did some provisioning yesterday, but not perishables, because we want to make sure everything is fixed, first. Today will be a day for fixing the rudder, doing laundry, hot showers (and making more water), and hopefully, final provisioning. Tommorrow we will head over to the fuel dock and top off, and then checkout. The winds towards the Azores look good for the next week.
One comment about services here – we are glad we have the genset and the watermaker, because slip space is limited, and many days the boats in the slips have moved out to anchorage because the weather made the slips untenable. Some boats tied up to a long wharf also had to move out to anchor because a second cruise ship arrived yesterday. The genset and the watermaker make waiting here at anchor much easier and less stressful.
We have uploaded a bunch more photos from the parade and other scenes around the island, but they don’t have captions yet.
