Pictures of Mexico

As our time in Mexico comes to an end I wanted to post some pictures that I have that are not in previous blogs.
The next few postings are these pictures:

Sea of Cortez Spring 2012 (cut short)

We are finally ready to make our way up in to Sea of Cortez again. We plan on meeting Judy Cole in Loretto in May. In the mean time we will visit our favorite places, find new anchorages, and new places to explore.

We are also looking forward to breaking in our new dinghy.

Before we left we had word that Mel's lung surgery date may moved up, so we head up with a shortened schedule.

We explore estuaries, kyak and fish in Augua Verde and make our way to Loretto where we will be able to access the Internet.
In Loretto we learn  Mel's surgery is moved to May 20th !!! wow only 2 weeks away. Our only choice is to hurry back to La Paz, missing our time with Judy and get Mazu ready for the summer hurricane season.

An over night trip gets us back to Marina de La Paz, and the work begins.

Mazu is put to bed for the summer

New sailing "season"

Dear Friends and Family,
In October Mel and I returned to La Paz Mexico where Mazu rested over the summer.  As we worked to get her ready for sailing Mel became ill. We had to return to Oregon to sort it all out. It turns out that he had an abcess from a leaking appendix.

After that issue was resolved we returned to La Paz to sail MAZU to Mazatlan for a haul-out appointment. Here she is waiting for us to return from Oregon (yes, we came home again for the holidays) to complete the haul-out work.

Just to keep it interesting we must return to Oregon at the end of January for what we hope will be the last time as Mel will have his appendix removed.

We then hope to start our new adventures on Mazu. Our plan is to cross the Pacific and contiue our journey in the South Pacific Islands. If all the planets align we will "puddle jump" sometime in March of 2013.

I have found a blog site that will allow me to post even while crossing the Pacific, using my SSB radio, so I will soon change over to that blog site. When it is up a running I will post the address here.  If I have your email address I will also be sending you and email.

In the mean time I will finnish off Mexico on this blog site, so stay tuned....
