Weather Helmed

Jon, one of the other boat owners, arrived from Colorado on Saturday to spend his spring break with us.  He showed up with two enormous bags of goodies for Matt and the boat.  It was like Christmas… if you count windvane parts, new hose, and mast track cars as presents.  But, Jon brought some *truly* fun stuff, too, like games and movies and a seed sprouter!

To make the most of his time here, we’ve decided to head south about 130 miles to a little place on Mexico’s “Gold Coast” called Tenacatita.  The best part of this plan is that we’ll get to snorkel at “the aquarium,” so named for the multitudes of fish there, and we will be going on a jungle river tour in our dinghy!!!!!!!  i’ve been wanting to see what the Mexican jungle is like, so this is a great way to experience some of it without having to go inland.  And, we hear there’s pretty good tacos at the end of the river.  🙂

Not sure if we’ll have internet access while we’re there, but I’ll be taking lots of pictures and will hopefully have fun stories to share when we get back.  I’m interested to see what it’s like since this is Holy Week and everyone in Mexico gets time off of work and it coincides with their schools’ spring break.  Should be a good time…

So many boats have left for the Pacific crossing and our new good friends on IO just left last night.  I’m getting really excited for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope everyone has a great week and – Happy Easter! 🙂
