APRIL AIN’T NO FOOL!


A new month and a new reason to be joyful! Yes, Easter the commemorative time in the Christian world that validates the entire theology of our faith: Good Friday and all it's passion, Holy Saturday filled with disappointment and hopelessness, then Resurrection Sunday, brilliant with the Glory and Promise fulfilled. He has risen.........He has risen in deed!  Halleluiah!!!!!!


 
We  anchored in Ensenda Granda, a long and narrow inlet of Isla Patida, a mere 20 miles east of La Paz. The weather man predicts some viscous north winds so we are tucked in nicely enjoying glorious blue temperate waters and a quiet………..there are only three other vessels here at the moment. We arrived yesterday and were soon joined by S/V Sea Turtle, with Jordan and Judy on board who invited us over for happy hour that turned into supper. We borrowed a movie from them and came home to popcorn and a movie. Today, the boys are waiting for the wind to subside so they can go catch supper. Our provisions are becoming rather scarce as we are nearing the end of our season here in the Baja. The coffee and propane are running on low so when that comes to nought we will return to the harbor and begin to prepare to "haul out". White Shell goes on the hard on April 15th.



The time has gone so quickly yet there is a sense of being a long way away. Over 1660 pictures in the albums and many many words on the blog yet so many still in our heads. There just does not seem to be enough time to write it all down as we carry on the daily chores and just "live aboard". We will have many stories for any of you that are interested in hearing them………………until then. Have a very blessed Holy Easter weekend. If you find some bunny rabbit eggs, save us a few!                       Lue and Claes

    So very cool, Bahia Amortajada is my favorite place too. On Easter we worshiped at our Church in Yakima, Westside Baptist. And then had a wonderful brunch @ my daughter's home with 6 of my 8 grandchildren and 2 of my kids and their spouses. On Saturday we had Nana's big egg hunt and we hula hooped, flew kites, kicked the soccer balls and played that famous game "Nana May I" which is their favorite. Prized were won by all and lots of baskets were filled with eggs and bunnies...All 8 grandkids loved it.

WHAT TO BRING HOME FROM OUR TRAVELS?

Image
As we travel Panama   as in other  countries there are many many tourist spots  with "things"to buy and bring home  to you all.   Ahh! the decision are many  and can get rather difficult.   Sometimes the memorabilia is best bought with the person making the memory--if you know what I mean.  We do love to shop at least some of us. LOL   The thrill really is in the hunt right ladies?  and for us grandmas  it is an exercise of love for the "kidz"".  As this Abula searches for just the right color or item I think of the child I am shopping for:  the joy of remembering the voice, the smile and the bright eyes ........ahhhh so sweet!   There are a few authentic crafts here in Panama such as  the Embera Baskets made in the Indian Community  the Emberá basket is a one-of-kind piece and is the result of many hours of labor as well as an expression of the artist's own individu...

MEMORIES……….are made of this!

  I woke up today with a touch of a sore throat; not sick enough to make a request for light duty but uncomfortable to the point of not wanting to do much. I forced myself out of the bunk. You know how it is-- if you sleep during the day --night comes sleepless! Not wanting to waste the day sniffing and drinking tea .. i do prefer coffee……I attempted to keep myself busy with my chores. My interest quickly waned and I found myself at my desk……I began sorting through the small cupboard that acts as our filing cabinet. Yes, reminding me of the past  boat rule: all items must have two purposes which now  applies to our land home……here in the Comox Valley.   As I thought  of past years piled high within these  files of book work and accounts for our lives i managed a smile and reached  into the back section of the  cabinet.     I knew there was one file that held no numbers;  this plain ivory colored manila folder secured wi...
