Wally continues to improve daily from his surgery. The MD removed the final stitches today. Wally is scheduled to start physical therapy next week. His endurance level is improving and his walking distance is increasing. The great news is no pain! The picture with Wally is with both of his physicians. The MD said we could leave Mazatlan in January. Our departure date will be January 10.
We continue to be busy everyday. We wonder where the day has gone as we watch the sun set. While we haven't been able to leave the marina area since Wally's surgery we continue to be very active socially. For those of you who are not cruisers, we have come to find out that cruisers are a very close group and are always helping each other out. One of the ways that we all stay connected and in communication is we always have our VHF radio on. Monday through Saturday we listen to the Net on channel 22 at 8:00a.m. (I think that is a little early!) The first item asked for is there any emergency traffic, secondly we all check in with our name on the radio. The next items for discussion is any new arrivals(cruisers)to the Mazatlan or any departures leaving Mazatlan, weather, the tides, special announcements (this includes all the social activities that may be going on), assistance needed, treasures of the bilge (any items that many be for sale) and then any other information needed. It usually ends about 8:20 a.m. If cruisers need another cruiser during the day we call each other via the VHF. Every cruising area has their own Nets for information.
Winter has arrived in Mazatlan. The temperature is in the low 80's during the day and cooling down to the high 60's in the evening. We continue to wear shorts and T-shirts.

Feliz Navidad, Linda and Wally! So happy to hear that Wally's surgery went well, and sounds like you're continuing to have an excellent adventure. Hope wind and weather are with you as you head south, and into the new year!!
Love, -- Glenn
