Our placing of The Fox back in the water - our reverse haulout, if you will - occurred in December, 2014, in Puerto Chiapas, Mexico. I was gratified to overhear a Mexican national on our incoming flight complain about "being back in the Tapachula sauna." At least I know it wasn't just Menopausal Me who had trouble with the heat and humidity.
Overall, The Fox had weathered the 6 rainy summer months fairly well. Sails, rig, transmission, shaft seal, and electronics were all fine. No leaks. Watermaker was fully functional. There was a small amount of corrosion on some electronics terminals and the expected grime on deck and the batteries were fully discharged, but ultimately we found no serious problems with any gear. This pic shows The Fox before getting a new coat or 2 of hull paint.
We had asked the yard guys to prep and paint the hull because the weather was just too hot and humid for GB to DIY this time. The yard guys did an excellent job and it was well worth their labor at US $600. (The copper-enriched hull paint was the typical going price of about US $200 per gallon.) In that pic over there on the left, you can just barely see marina manager Enrique Laclette, striding away in his white shirt.
