ANOTHER ACCOMPLISHMENT-the BIG "T"!!!!!

Image
The amazing creativity of  The Creator was in full array this early morning as we approached  Puerto Madero, Mexico our last port of call.  Forty three hours of motor sailing -----yeah!!!!  We did it! Today we are being visited by The Mexican Navy and again the day we leave which we think will be monday.  We need to visit the Port Captain as well as the Immigration office and get our papers stamped for leaving the country.  It has been an amazing two years in this beautiful country filled with very friendly people.  No hassles are fears!!!  We are blessed.

Yeah, I know all our Northern "buddies" dont wont to hear this but darn it is getting a wee bit HOT.  Had to wait till after 11 to go to bed last night...............pretty warm.  Oh, well got to read my book a little longer.  I guess my internal clock is getting used to making passages as I was up bright and early this morning.  Makes good use of my time.........by 7 am I had my quiet time and my second cup of coffee.  Now we are finished listening to our radio nets and after a little repas----breakfast we will up anchor and move over to Zuhantenejo for a few days.  Crista, tells us it is agreat little spot so we will report back to you.

SAILORS STAYING IN MANZANILLO TODAY

Change of plans.... ......our plans are usually written in the sand, below the tide line so that we can change them.  LOL  Heard over the Amigo net this morning that our friends from last season S/V Jatimo with Jan and Ramona are expecting to arrive here in La Hadas later today so we will await their arrival and catch up on their news.  Some of you will recognize her name as the fine lady who drew those beautiful Sea of Cortez scenes and creatures of the land that I shared with you young ones to color last summer.  Were they not just incredible??? Back to making the man in lifes' breakie and update this Blog..............Have a great day.  So fine to chat with older sister Colette last night...........we love to make her laugh and Her Big Teddy Bear of a brother-in-law Claes does that..............talk to you later.
