Still a fun place to anchor.
Guys scrubbed the deck and we got the boat ready to head in.
Had that Catana catamaran behind us again and "Profligate" in front of us.
Saw another catamaran and asked him about anchoring in the bay (it all looks a little different than 8 years ago)...
Anchored in the line of boats, with 3 other cats (called "the cat clique" by the monohullers...)
And this is what we did for the next four days:
Jim got us hooked up on internet - yipee!
Emailed and blogged.
Arranged our slip with Marina de La Paz.
Walked along the malecon.
Had drinks as La Perla.
Walked around town and checked out a beautiful book store.
Had fish tacos.
Had ice cream (hadn't had that for awhile).Saw that "Tequilas y Mariachis" is closed (very sad - had to email this important news to Marvin)...
Watched the sunsets over the Mogote.
Watched the sunrises over town.
Listened to the "pre-net" or "conspiracy" net on vhf - a bunch of crusty ex-cruisers trying to solve the world's problems - made me want to go back to Ventura. Jim promised me we would NEVER listen to that again!
Headed in to our slip.
Had a few beers.
Played on the internet.
Naps, showers, laundry.
Burgers at The Dock Cafe.
Arranged flights for the awesome crew.
Watched mullets swim alongside the boat.
Went to Salispuedes for drinks and to meet John.John talked politics with Tim, which made Stan, Jim & Heather want to hang themselves.
Had wonderful arrachera at Rancho Viejo.
Stan was happy to listen to the old guy at Rancho Viejo play the guitar and sing.
Ate a wonderful "last supper" at La Boheme, complete with awesome dessert!
The crew packed their stuff.Sent the crew off in a taxi to the airport.
Sad, sad faces...
I had to keep my sunglasses on due to teary eyes when we sent them off...
A few words about you ~ Stan, Tim and Pam:
You were wonderful!
We loved having you aboard on this "trip of a lifetime"!
Thanks for the fun and help.
We miss you.
You are always welcome!
