Looking for a Catamaran Cruising Blog?

If you found this blog via a link from a cruising site ~ we did cruise Mexico on our Ocean 49 cat for a season. See the first text box on the right for links to our preparations, trip down Baja, life in Mexico, cruising and trip back up to SoCal. Unfortunately we are back to the grind in the USA...

What Do You Mean It's December?

Ok, so we are trying!
We are trying to get into the Christmas spirit, even when it's 82 degrees outside.


So last night Jim put on our favorite Christmas CD.
Yes, the one by Jethro Tull.

For some great lyrics, click on my post title above.

And we even pulled out our Christmas tree and all seven of the large ornaments we brought down.
The tree is all of 8".
Bought back in Manzanillo in 1999 for 10 pesos.
Of course it's decorated with tiny shells, starfish and sea urchin shells all found in the Sea of Cortez.



The tree top is a really strange vertebra we found that looks like an angel.

Way cool stuff!



We sat in the cockpit with some Noche Buena beer, a nice candle burning, our party cockpit lights and Christmas music playing.Two boats out at anchor had Christmas lights on.
Beautiful!
But is still doesn't feel like Christmas...
