Seasons greetings

Who said Santa doesn't deliver to boats in Mexico. Hope all are family and friends have had a very Merry Christmas and a great New Years. We spent Christmas Eve with boater friends and then went out for a lovely breakfast. We will be bringing in the new year with a nice fish meal and a little wine. Happy New Year to all and may all your hopes and dreams come true in 2014!

Back on the Boat

Arrived back in Mazatlan, much warmer then at home. All our friends are teasing us because we are white. We just tell them it is the frost and ice on us and once it melts we will be a little darker. Ball game Friday night and Mazatlan lost, they are having a poor season. Starting to get the boat shipshape but hard to get much done with so much visiting.

Work

Send me back to Mazatlan, there is too much work here!
