Friday, April 28, 1995 - Boqueron, Puerto Rico

Put out another VHF announcement about the cave trip, and this time Shaggy Dog responded. They're very eager to go, so we discussed renting a car and driving ourselves up there. This lit a fire under Ray, who was listening. He contacted Richard, the driver, and Richard agreed to drive the four of us to the caves for $15 a person. We'll meet by the dinghy dock at eight tomorrow morning. Ray is even going to take us in in his dinghy, so we won't have to leave our Royaks on the beach all day. We'll even be able to wear our good clothes and shoes. Yay, tomorrow the caves! Roy went in to Mayaguez again and bought a few things. He must know the way by heart by now. He's still making changes to the alternator. He also rigged up a tiny light for an anchor light. It only draws 1/4 amp. I waited until late afternoon to phone Noreen. She hadn't found the inverter and hadn't phoned IPS to trace it. That was disappointing. She said again that she'd phone them, so I'll call her again on Monday, but if she hasn't done anything by then, I'll phone IPS myself. Britten told me on Monday that he had the package and would deliver it to Statpower the next day. It's probably there and Noreen doesn't know it.
