Life in La Paz ~ Week 2 or 3 ~ What Day is it Anyway?

We have had some pretty warm weather so far - up to 96 degrees, both inside and outside the boat.
So my current project is a sunshade / awning to go across the cabintop.
First of all, remember we are 24' wide.
That is a lot of material!
And so much fun to design, cut, pin and sew together in the cockpit!








We enjoyed discussing catamarans with Jean Luc & Emmanuelle of "Chogolisa".
Jean Luc said it was a turning point in his life when he saw us in Mag Bay...
He is now hot on getting a catamaran.
They are currently North of us in the Sea of Cortez and we look forward to seeing them on way back through La Paz.
We watched a local guy spear a huge snook a slip away.
Had our friend & sailmaker, Tony over for dinner and stayed up way too late!

I went to the AMPI meeting - a meeting for the La Paz realtors.
I have been out to a few realtor and project offices, but am waiting for my updated business cards to go back out.

Jim and John have been out at the La Torquesa lots with different people.

I watched Johnny for 6 1/2 hours one day. Quite interesting, as I don't always understand what he says, but what a good kid! We had fun playing games, doing a jigsaw puzzle, doing dot-to-dots and playing on the gym at Burger King (yes, I had to go to Burger King...)

We have BBQ'd a lot to avoid heating up the boat.
Found pre-marinated whole chickens for $24 to $26 pesos (around $2.50 US) that come out great on the BBQ.

We celebrated Bob Shaw's 60th birthday at Rancho Viejo with his wife Linda! Bob and Linda also celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary in La Paz! Ricardo, John and some other friends from Oregon, Rich, Kim, Keith and Susan joined us.
A little Mexican boy thought Rich & Kim's daughter, Richelle was a princess.



We thought she was one too.
What a cute kid!













Met Mark, one of the captains from the National Geographic "Sea Lion" we saw in Magdalena Bay. He was the captain that called us when Stan's sister was onboard.

Ran into Gabriel who manages the Costa Baja Marina here - he was at Cruiseport Marina when we had our boat in Ensenada. Was great to see him again!

Had a skype chat with Tim and Pam, and they emailed this to us - the Ventura West Marina newsletter!We have also read a lot of books and taken a lot of showers!
