Ventura, CA - September 28, 2009





















We have continued to enjoy our time at home visiting and playing with family and friends. I have managed to work in between my play time and Wally has done some boat deliveries and boating lessons.

Wally, and Ed from Windsong, took a road trip to Mazatlan to deliver our new dingy and other items both boats felt necessary for our next cruising season. They drove down the Baja side and took the ferry from LaPaz to Mazatlan. Their return trip they drove up the Mexico mainland. They enjoyed seeing some of the anchorages and bays in the Sea of Cortez. We look forward to exploring the Sea of Cortez on Andanzas.

We have vacationed with my family at Balboa Island and enjoyed a week at the beach. I have spent time at Nacimento Lake with my brothers, sister and parents doing one of our favorite water sport, wave running. My latest trip was to New York to visit Niagra Falls with my family.

We are excited about finishing our summer and heading back to Mazatlan to pick up our boat. Our tentative departure is around October 18. We have the opportunity to join our friends, John and Rosie, on their boat Serena Ray, in San Diego and go by sea back to Mazatlan.
