Bad hair day?

Well, yes. I do need a wash and cut. But that's not it. Haven't posted lately because there have not been many lovely adventures to report. We spent some quality time with friends in Bara de Navidad and met interesting and lovely new people, as well. Did do the typical tasks such as laundry, provisions, diesel.... enjoyed walking about the town. So, we were ready to go up the coast just when the weather reports changed from "you know, the usual lovely mx Riviera weather" to "there is an extensive pineapple express (thick cloud cover and rain) and trough that will bring winds between 20-30K to the entire area". So we are tucked safely into Bahia Tenacatita waiting for this weather to blow over (literally!).

We pulled in and anchored in a sheltered part of the bay and went in to try and use a telephone at the big resort here. Turns out there are no phones for the public, only for the guests. We came back to Ceilidh to find that 3 boats had anchored so close to us that we had to ask the one directly in front to motor forward because they were actually on top of our chain and anchor. Go figure. With a blow expected we like lots of room around - so we moved. The next day we also had to move, not once but twice. I am getting a bit burned out on shiny new cruisers. They are lovely people but having to moving 3 times in an anchorage with LOTS of room is a bit much. Ok, ok. Like I said, it is a bad hair day.

Today I played Sarafina and will do again before the evening. We enjoyed a yummy spinach salad for lunch and have more happy vegies in mind for supper. Still have rum for delicious drinks and cold beer in the frig. See, not so bad, eh? Tomorrow we'll do the jungle river dinghy ride again - haven't done it yet this year - and then the next day it's off to Carayis. Looking forward to that because we have never been able to anchor there. So, next post will be more upbeat, I'm sure, and back to reporting adventures. Until then

Love to you all
from the yin side
