Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico-April 14, 2009

We completed our last passage of this cruising season. We traveled 135 north from San Blas to Mazatlan. The highlight of the trip-it was our last overnight. While Wally and I do well completing night watches, one hour on and one hour off, we pay a price the following day. Wally gets wired and goes all day while I become cranky and sleep deprived.


We had perfect weather with 8-10 knots of wind and 1-2 feet seas. We had a beautiful sunset while watching the moon rise. What we had to watch out most for were the long lines that the fishermen seem to string all over the ocean. We are always concerned we may catch a line in our prop.


Wally says we have been at 20 different anchorages since we left home. We have been so fortunate this season not to have experienced any bad weather or bad sea conditions. I tell Wally that the Sea Gods watched over us.

We are back in Mazatlan and loving it. It feels like it is our second home. So many friends here to catch up with. So many stories to share. We have not slowed down socially since our return.



I am back to kayaking 3 days a week with a group of women, and line dancing 2 days a week. We have dingy raft up parties (happy hour) every Friday, brunch on Sunday, Pizza Tuesday night, Music at Cannuks on Monday, etc.,etc.,etc.
Life is good!
