SAILORS SOMETIME CHANGE THEIR PLANS

You betcha!  and that is exactly what happened today.   We both hustled into town in the dingy to get at our list of chores ie  refill the propane, get our fishing licences and park passes plus get more pesos--  cant live without any of those items.  We met up with Kim and Rob  from S/V Keetya I . I clocked my trek to el banco and it took me just shy of 40 minutes there and back.  What a great feeling too to have a work out bright and early.  Yesterday, we worked on a second dingy that we wanted to purchase............an older one to use as a back up.  We like to be secure in that area as it is our transportation when at land.......anyways it had to be pumped up manually so we had a great leg work out yesterday. Too bad we did not video this exercise as it was rather hallirous as we un mystified the layout of the boards that make up the hard bottom of the boat.  Not sure which was funnier  that  or us towing the new grey dingy ...

SAILING SOUTHWARD TOWARDS MUERTOS BAY

Last season this was one of our favorite spots..........we spent Christmas Eve there and meet our good buddy Anthony from S/V Mandalya .  Tomorrow morning after listening to the weather and topping up with diesel and pesos we will be push off to truly begin our Second Season.  (We have truly enjoyed La Paz but have our eyes on a new scenery.) The last few weeks have been productive as we have re assembled, newly assembled and provisioned.  Hey, we did laundry twice!!!!  The Captain pushed the test button yesterday and made contact on the SSB and with a huge grin spoke to a Don Anderson our weather guy all the way up to California.  So, look out here we come. Not sure how the internet will be the next few weeks so if you dont hear from us just know that we are on our way to Mazatlan and hope to be there by next week --as long as the weather is favorable. We shall talk soon...............and of course you need to turn on your Skype if you really want to talk...
