Loving this beautiful city
Guadalajara has it all. Beautiful parks, an obvious appreciation for historical buildings, and a vibrant Mexican culture. The food is pretty interesting too! Much different than Mazatlan in every way. Tomorrrow we'll take the bus back to the boat.

A new year and so many new friends
Finally we have some internet-this is the first time I've tried to post something from the laptop on the boat. Life is so good in Mazatlan-we love the city and especially the people. Somehow cruising makes it possible to connect with people quickly. We know how to get about the town on the bus and where to eat great food and find great local ingredients. We've started to figure out where the good live music is and we're planning to go on the art walk on Friday. This is such a supportive friendly place to be. Every morning except Sundays I try to join the "walk"-about 5 km. So far all the folks we've met are Canadians, with at least 5 from Alberta! There are a surprising number of Edmonton registered boats here. Our current plan is to haul out here to have some bottom work done on the boat and to leave it in Mazatlan for the summer. I head back to Edmonton January 23-9 weeks passes quickly.

Shrimp market
I think we'll barbecue the prawns we just bought at the shrimp market. We found the market by accident while on our way to find the amazing gelato that Dianne and I had the other day. There was 20 or 30 different kinds of shrimp and prawns. Life is good!
Docked in San Diego-at long last!
In Chula Vista, we have about 6 inches either side between two finger docks due to surges in the marina. The boaters either side of my slip came out to help get me in! Two great guys and two great women... And once I was in, it turned out to be slip 11 instead of mine which is 12! No issues they said - just back out and we will get you into 12! Great people.
Really tired today so doing simple things like laundry, airing out bedding and mattresses, and generally restoring order on board after the cruise south. The heavy lifting on my list of projects like the water maker and finally conquering the Balmar alternator start tomorrow.
