Despite leaving our cruising lifestyle and coming back to the demands of "life on land" we've not forgotten think back, laugh, and smile about our life....1 year ago. In fact, our friends commented, "what do you do, go down to the boat and pretend you are back in La Cruz, La Paz, or Zihuatanejo?" Ha, ha... sad, but yes! We are not alone though!!!

A few weekends ago on a BEAUTIFUL weekend in the middle of winter, we arranged for an anchoring permit to La Playa cove. Sounds exotic...Spanish even...eh? I know you are thinking ...."Maybe they are escaping back to Mexico?" If you are a cruiser, you'd know right away that wasn't the case when the word permit was in my first sentence. Permit = US = regulations. In Mexico, you drop the hook where you're comfortable and voila, enjoy the sunset over a nice beverage! So La Playa Cove is right around the corner from our slip, but it is a nice little anchorage...allowing us to escape from "life on land."

We had a real nice weekend kayaking, exploring, playing cards, and just hanging out. Like I said, we weren't alone. That same weekend anchored right next to us was a couple we'd met in Agua Verde, Mexico in May. No, we didn't pre-arrange a meeting. It just so happened we both decided to anchor out, and we actually hadn't seen them since the day we met in Agua Verde in May!

See...we're not crazy... and actually, yes, appears it's quite the "in" thing to pretend you're back in Mexico on a winter weekend in San Diego. :)
