In this episode of Salt & Tar, we delve into the crew's ongoing efforts to restore a boat in La Cruz, Mexico, as they face challenges with an old outboard and transmission. Amidst these trials, there is time for joy and celebration as Max's birthday arrives amidst hot weather and town festivities.
Engine Issues and Bottom Growth
The Salt & Tar crew recently tried to use an old outboard, which is 20 years old. The outboard initially appeared promising but turned out to be unreliable. Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the propeller was covered in bottom growth due to the lack of effectiveness from their bottom paint. This issue indicates that a local diver's impending visit to clean their boat may not have been soon enough.
Restoring a Boat
While grappling with engine troubles, the crew takes time out to enjoy Max's birthday celebrations. During this episode, they discuss the intriguing sight of an abandoned George Berr boat that was once sailed to Mexico and Hawaii in 1970 by its designer. This discovery reignites Garrett's desire for major construction projects.
Haul Out Plans
As the Salt & Tar crew faces heatwave conditions in their quest to restore the boat, they emphasize the urgency of booking a haul-out. They share that while it may still be uncertain, they hope for updates on their plans next week.
Golf Carts and Community Bonds
In addition to boat work, the crew also lends a helping hand in assembling golf carts with Max and Karen. These carts represent a brainchild that blends the couple's vision for a local business and fosters a sense of community and belonging within their cruising family.
Town Celebrations
During the latter part of this episode, we witness the local La Cruz town festival as it begins. Max and Karen plan to participate with decorated golf carts in the parade that occurs around sunset, further emphasizing their involvement in local Mexican culture.
Conclusion
The Salt & Tar crew navigates through both challenges and celebrations. As they restore a boat, overcome engine issues, and attend Max's birthday festivities in La Cruz, their resilience shines. The episode ends on a reflective note about the impermanence of dreams turning into reality and highlights the importance of community connections throughout their journey.
