Too Long

It is the 2nd highest lighthouse in the world!

Veggies hangin around!




It has been a while since I checked in. Seems like we are just kind of marking time, and I never know if the interesting little things about living in Mexico will translate well, but I'll see how it goes.

The other day we were taking the bus home and the man next to us was playing music videos on his phone. He didn't have earphones, so we were all enjoying the oldies, rock and roll he was playing. Then Queen came on, We Will Rock You. We quickly reallized the bus driver was tapping his air brakes to the "stomp/clap" of the song, only in Mexico!!

Lots of funny little stories, and mostly it seems, ya just had to be there!

Thou Shall Not Covet Thy Neighbors Boat


We helped move a Downeaster 38 to the Fonatur Marina across town today. Oh my, is only 3 feet larger than our boat, but so roomy inside and out! We decided that will be our next boat.
Everyone says you need a light air boat to sail in Mexico, we so far we have had either no wind or a LOT of wind, and have motored 60% or more of our passages. Most of the time is spent at anchor, and it would be really nice to live large in a bigger boat.
Now if we only had a few more pesos . . .
