Here's Picara

02 January 2012 | San Juanico
Mike and Marni from the sailboat 'Picara' came to say good morning. The water's pretty cold right now but it didn't seem to bother Marni as she swam over, with Mike rowing along in their cool wooden dinghy. They're from Vancouver Island, Canada. Maybe that's why. Don and I snorkeled yesterday in our 7ml suits that we used for diving at the Channel Islands in Southern California. Dressed that way we were able to stay in the water for an hour or more easy. Marni and Mike are also doing the Puddle Jump in March - like us they're getting ready to sail to the South Pacific, very exciting. 'Picara' is a steel boat that they've been working on for ten years, she's a beauty.
