Bouncing on the water

It sure does good for the soul to be floating again. I went in the water 3 days ago with little damage to the boat.....those pesky straps on the travel lift pulled my deck up a little and rubbed some bottom paint off. My shifter(forward and reverse) was not working properly and my throttle was rusty and not working. After taking everything apart at the fuel dock and wd-40 sprayed liberally I got everyhting working again. Five months of non-use and things tend to get stuck and not work properly. I changed the oil and filter and tweaked a few other things and loaded up with diesel and washed the boat. Tomorrow, I'm throwing a Pizza party for the employees here at the marina(trying to impress Arianna) and had a nice cake made with Muchas Gracias Singlar written on it. I've truly enjoyed their help and friendship while here in Guaymas. It's going to be tough to depart Saturday, but I have to be on my way. I don't know if I will go straight across the Sea to Bahia Concepcion or keep going south to either Mazatlan or La Paz. The weather window for the period that I will be underway looks real good, so that's why I think I might keep on going because I can visit the Sea again at the end of the season on my way back north.
