Follow up to “What would you pack…”
A little over a week ago I wrote a post entitled What would you pack in your bag? I’m sure this won’t surprise anyone who knows me, I don’t like to pack at the last minute. As such, we’ve already begun setting aside items for our trip to Puerto Rico on Monday. Knowing that the present owner of the boat that we’re going to survey will be removing all of his tools, we’ll be bringing quite a few of them with us, just in case. Below is a list of what we’ve, thus far, decided to carry with us. Yes, we’ll be checking a bag, or rather, two, I suspect.
Puerto Del Rey Marina, where we’ll be traveling to.
- Mustang Inflatable PFDs (2) (only because I don’t own the ones listed at the bottom of yesterday’s post)

Does this Amel have USA plugs? Perhaps you might need Euro plus adapters?
Have a great trip and good luck!
Thanks, Paul. Plug adapters… check!
Deep Purple?
😉
Cheese-it’s?
I bet we can find those in PR.
Not sure if this owners manual applies to your Amel model, but it is really well done. Maybe the owner has one he can send you. Great pics of all the systems and electronics. Maybe also download any navigation electronics manuals on your iPads. http://islandplanetsails.com/amel/manual.pdf
First, it’s funny that you wrote “your” Amel model. We’re not quite there yet. 🙂
As for the manual, it is not exactly the same as what we’re looking at. That manual is for a larger, newer version. There are no doubt some similarities though. Thanks.
Don’t forget bring a Hammer to PR– You might need it to hit your head with or possibly fix something on your new Boat.. Maybe both..
IMHO..
That’s the secondary uses for a winch handle.
Yes– A Winch handle would work too.. And there should be plenty aboard!!
