The Story of guy and gal!

After ten days anchored in the Bay of Dreams….aka Ensenada de los Muertos we have made our way back up in to the Sea towards La Paz. As we entered into the San Lorenzo Channel we heard our friends from the S/Vs Nautilus and Salish Seas chatting back and forth making plans to head out to Isla Partida to a little bay called Ensenda el Cardonal. Our plans were quickly changed and we continued right up the west side of Isla Espiritu Santo and truly are enjoying our rendezvous with our cruising buddies. It seems like it has been some time since we last saw them so we spent the evening sharing a meal of Mai Mai (fish) a few beers and lots of stories. Ian now has Diane, his bride on board the Salish Sea so we had supper at their table all contributing to make a fantastic time. We are truly missing Kristen as she is taking a wee break and getting her grandma fix up in Seattle…she should be home Wednesday. After an incredible sleep as it is so peaceful—quiet and calm here in t...

and its free internet that goes with it so am sending you a very quick message.  I will come by with my laptop tomorrow and download some more pictures and a few posts that we wrote while we were exploring Isla Partida.  We are back in La Paz and its very warming to meet up with our sailor friends.  Actually gathering a rather nice collection of folks.................there is a beach party this weekend so we are sure to have some fun times..............yes, I will take some more pictures.  HAHAHHA! The weather is warmish  80 degrees today with lots of clouds.  They are forcasting 80% chance of rain tonight so we will follow up on that as well.  We are well and spending some time doing a few chores, like getting the shortwave radio checked.............our friend Roz arrives next week.  We will drive around and tour............so talk to you soon.

My preference is to change and re-do and re-organize.  It is part of who I am.  Continuity is good but  the to enjoy and experience  newness of things is refreshing. Keeping in line with my self I changed the template of the blog the other day.  All was looking great with some new colors and different layout; gadgets on the right side of the page instead of the left.  Even though it looked fantastic it did not work.  Goes to enforce that old saying:  looks are not everything.  My dear sister Irene, (who just returned back to Red Deer Altbeta from Mesa Arizona) who is my un official site supervisor said that the Picture Gallery,  which she loves so much was not available.  Gotta tell you I got up at the crack of dawn this morning to a beautiful sunrise.  Somehow I just cant get bored with them.  I fiddled with the template and had to take second choice but now my pictures are there for you.  Please if you have not v...

Yes, time to scout out some provisions, which is not always easy.  Spent the last couple of days looking for options on how we were going to trek over 9 miles to the closest grocery store.  I say store loosely, as these establishments are not grand in size, the service is done by yourself and the inventory usually very minimal. Such was the case today but we got basically what we needed: eggs, milk, some vegies and beer. How we got there was rather interesting of course.  The young man in the restaurant attempted to be helpful but really he much preferred that we eat there right?  So, he didn't really say no, but he was not very clear as to how we were going to get a ride.  We could have talked to a few gringos that come and go from the near by rv park but they were  engrossed in their beers and meals so we watched and sure enough every morning a van would come by, drop off folks to rent the pangas (little boats) and away they would go fishing for three...

It is a beautiful day today, with rather calm seas and temperatures in the mid 70's.  We have had a very laid back day as I am still not feeling my chipper self.  Definitely am fighting an infection which is in my bladder now........so am on meds and lots of waterdowned cranberry juice that I miraculously had on board!  I am not one who is a very good "sicko" so am a little frustrated.  Captain is being ever so sweet.  Thanks Claes. After listening to some pod casts from Santa Cruz Faith Church................the little church in the old movie theatre we discovered way back in September...remember.  (There is link on the side here to it......if you are interested in knowing where are minds are at today?)   The day has passed and we will relax on the benches in the wheel house an watch the sunset  and later have some pasta for supper.  Hope to Skype the kids. Good night!

Got the flue so will catch up with you as soon as I am better.  Still warm here but a little windy at the end of the day.  Not complaining..............Have a Mexican Navey Ship at our stern tonight...........so we should be safe!!!! Good night  Lue

I know we have all been pretty occupied with the Season and all that goes with it:  family, friends and oh so much food and drink!!!  With the Christmas Season nearly behind us we can get back to normal  whatever that is????   You know some traditions celebrate well into January as no one is really certain when the exact birth date  was, so to  my  Ukrainian friends and brother in law Bill -- Merry Christmas.  (Could someone write back and tell us how to say/spell  that in English??)
