Lost Elvis Status

Hola y Aloha,

Lost Elvis is still getting all of her new electronics installed by Yacht Services in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We expect the job to be complete sometime in November, almost a year after our insurance claim. Probably "standard ops" for Mexico. I love those people but it requires years of patience to get to that stage and I'm Canadian. The Americans must go insane when they first experience the Mexican way.

Once the job is complete we plan to move Lost Elvis to Hawaii; as soon as we get a weather window. We are considering adding extra fuel tanks in case the winds are light. We are on the list at the Ala Wai Marina and Kewalo Basin Harbor. There aren't many marinas here and they are all but one, State-owned. We could stay at Ko'Olina, the private marina while waiting for a downtown marina.

We already have The Cruising Guide to the Hawaiian Islands, by Mehaffy and are looking forward to cruising the islands over the next couple of years. We may even take a trip to Palmyra.

Stay tuned!!
