It's been a few very busy months, adding equipment to the boat and getting our lives organized to sail away from Mexico for awhile. We’ve completed lots of major boat projects: installing new hydrovane self-steering, a watermaker, and new rigging for the boat, as well as tons of other projects. To give you an idea of how much fun Tim was having here's a photo of him replacing the leaky fuel line going to our diesel tank -- he calls it doing 'boga' - his own form of boat yoga.
We're approaching departure day (although we still haven't set an exact day). Our friend/crew Lori arrived last week, in time to enjoy Mexico a bit before we depart. We’re thinking we'll leave towards the end of this week... but just heard about a new swell supposed to hit then, so may have to delay and surf a bit first (not to mention we have to finishing provisioning, which I haven't quite started yet). Last night was our our *good-bye* party with all our friends in Punta Mita, and tomorrow we will sail down to Paradise marina in Nuevo Vallarta to provision and clear out. It'll be hard to leave all the wonderful friends here in Mexico, but we're thinking we'll be back after a bit of cruising!
