it's been a whirlwind couple of weeks for us. we flew home april 21 to tackle taxes, doctor visits, and other commitments. we had a grand time visiting friends and talking on the phone and emailing. all the luxuries you don't get when you're on the hook. we flew back to la paz may 7. we were upgraded to a direct flight instead of our change-planes reservations, and then a 3 hour bus ride putting us on the boat about 5pm in 100 degree heat. we had 7, yes 7, bags to bring onboard and unpack and stow away. it's taken us 3 days to accomplish that, along with trips to the big box stores and little tiendas. imagine sitting in a taxi with the trunk full of bags of groceries (no air conditioning mind you) while jim darts in and out of various carnitas tiendas. we treated ourselves to a brief swim yesterday evening before sunstroke hit. this morning he's sorting and packing nuts and bolts while i'm downloading information about panama and ecuador. i can feel the heat begin to build. the plan is to leave here by noon (oh sure) and head over to mazatlan to check out a marina we've been encouraged to stay in rather than sprint down to central america. so many decisions. summer over and deal with the heat and relax in a resort or blow past mexico and some of central america to get out of the hurricane zone. it comes down to do we want to deal with heat & humidity in mazatlan or lightening storms in central america. hmmm not sure i like either choice. more will be revealed in a few days after we get out of here (it's so hard to leave no matter where we are) and get back on the water sailing or motoring.
happy mother's day to all those moms we know and good health and happiness to everyone.
