Have been on walkabouts in La Paz the last few days to get my bearings. Most things are walkable. The Malacon is a particularly good walk, lots of cafes and ice cream !!!
Have just about visited eveyr marine store and contributed to their cash flows. Just bits...........
Have learnt 3 new card games this week( Baha rummy, 3/13 and Cribbage) and had a bit of beginners luck, much to the dismay of Russ from Rock n Roll. He got his arse whooped New Zealand style. Now have internet access from the boat via the Telcell 3G network. The dongle works very well. The marina wifi systems tend to be over subscribed and very slow. Not one marina yet has realised the internet is a crucial tool to the cruisers and all offer systems with mundane speeds and irratic access. Marina de La Paz could be described as cosy.........it's rather small but very friendly. Everything is close at hand which is really nice for those of us who rely on "two feet for transport". The anchorage can be a bit wild at times, I guess at some point you can see why people get fed up with it and either leave or go into a marina. Going to have my first experience of a ' Thanksgiving " next week. 250 people are going, it is being held at marina Palmira. It will be good to go and see it as this is where I intend to meet up with scott and monica. Still a few small projects to do, one I am not looking forward to, changing a sea water hose which is just about unreachable, it's going to be fun getting it off and more fun getting the new one on.
