Lazing in La Paz

We arrived in La Paz, Baja Sur on Monday November 5, 2007. We came here to provision and to get our satellite TV hooked up. Unfortunately, when the SKY Mexico installer arrived he found that the main computer board in the big antenna on top of the board was DEAD. It is a brand new piece of equipment!! So here we sit waiting for a new main board to be shipped down from San Diego. One or both of us have been to town every day since we arrived. Alice got a little carried away at the huge supermercado today and wound up buying $100 worth of groceries... then had to get them home on the marina shuttle! Now there is yogurt, bacon, and other unusual delicacies onboard again~ We hope to leave by Tuesday, November 13, and head south to get in place for the 24 hour crossover to Mazatlan.

We just reeived a call from our friends Ted and Carolyn Burrage in Moscow, Idaho. They have decided to join us for the southern crossing next week! They fly into La Paz on Monday, November 12 and will fly home from Mazatlan on November 21! We sure are excited about having company onboard. We hope they will survive that 24 hour crossing with us! The couch recliners will give them some respite, since their guest room is also the pilot house and it will be in use that whole time!!! We are thinking about going into the estuary where there are docks but no services... time will tell.
