The only thing of note today was some work we got done on the Tiger. Norm had suggested that we should get a cover for the propane valves that are visible on the side of the Tiger; his thinking - the shipping company may not notice the propane and ask us to empty the tank. This is of some importance as (apparently) propane will be hard to find in South America.

So this morning we went into the local town - San Vincente - and asked around until we found someone that could fabricate a cover of sheet metal. The first guy we asked had too much work on his slate but he directed us to a competitor. The guy did a good job and only charge $15.00.


Apart from that we spent the day lazing in the pools being nibbled by fish, or sitting in the shade of the coca nut palms.

Oh! - I almost forgot - Nina was introduced to a man with a pet Iguana it was such a bright green color that she thought at first glance that it was fake!
