Rich says marinas are no fun. Hummm

Says we never have any fun while in marinas. Not true. We had a huge amount of fun in Mazatlan when Heather and Zack came to visit. Main problem with marinas? We don't go into a marina very often so when we do it is work dog work. Unlimited water and power equates to wash and wax everything inside and out of Ceilidh and do tasks that require large amounts of power while hooked into 110 at the dock. Oh, and walk everywhere in the town finding boat bits and such to complete above mentioned projects.

Don't misunderstand. We actually like doing these things. It is now 3 weeks into our stay at Marina Palmira in La Paz, Baja Sur and we are both feeling it is time to get on with the adventure. Time to head south and enjoy some sailing and new anchorages along the path. There is the temptation to stay a few more days just to play, visit and rest. Might not be such a bad idea. Just found out that we have the use of the hotel pool. Jumping into cool water after a day in the sun rinsing running rigging was heaven on earth. Went with Robin from the M/V Cat's Meow. What a lovely lady. Could have talked for days and never run out of things to say. Small world. She lived in Boulder Creek/Felton area as well. Didn't know her then but do know some of the same people.

Tomorrow is another fun filled day of figuring out what to purchase at the mercado and grocery stores to fill the frig and lockers for a 3 week period. To accomplish this well catch a bus to the general area and wask for an hour or so to end up at the various places we need to purchase the items. We then find a taxi to return us to the marina. Hey, it could be even more interesting. We could be anchored out and bringing the food back in squishy (new name for the dingy) thru large surf and breaking waves. We have it easy here and know it. La Paz is such an interesting town, as well, so the walking is a joy. It is the only place in Mexico where we found motorist consistently stop for pedestrians. Takes some getting used to. On with the tasks and such. Hope to have internet connection again to add more photos before we leave.
