You cannot believe how wonderful it was to recieve the comments from Mrs. Balantac and her Kindergarten class which my Princess is a pupil. I will commit this blog to answering all your questions...so be patient with me. I will print the name of the person with the question but will not type in the question..just the response. GABRIELLA= I miss you too. My back is much better. I'm going to keep the generator until this summer.
Desi= I am driving..my boat. Because I like the ocean and sailing and I get to live on my boat.
Julian= I never get bored.I will be visiting Mexico, Guatamala, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador(Galapagos Islands), San Blas Islands(which belong to Columbia), and Belize.
Phillip= I have'nt stopped at any islands yet but passed by Isla Isabella, which is a bird sanctuary.
Ashlynn= Because it's more adventuress and I enjoy other cultures and of course the weather is fantastic.
Blair= From Tiendas and supermarkets and of course I enjoy eating out at restaurants and taco stands.
Austin=Not this year, but there were 3 boats in the anchorage that had lights hung up the masts and it sure was pretty.
Jack= The anchor weighs 33 pounds and the chain that is attached to it weighs about 50 pounds.
Jennifer=I buy food at the stores and eat at these wonderful palapas on the beach.
Dominic-I lay down in my bed and close my eyes and let the gentle rocking of the boat put me to sleep. Gabriellas bed is on the starboard side of the boat and mine is on the port side.
Lucas=I have a regular shower with hot and cold running water. There is a 12 volt water pump that gives me water pressure.
Jacob=7 or 8 years. As long as I'm having fun.
Rafa= Boat equipment I get from marine stores. Fuel and water from the fuel dock and other everyday supplies form the market squares.
Jillian= It's very rare that I get bored. I have to keep all my systems working and have to take laundry ashore, get water for the boat, keep my dinghy running properly, and general maintenance.
Phillip#2= I have a TV and a complete bathroom with an electric toilet, and a cell phone that I don't use because it costs too much. I use phone service through my laptop computer and do video conference with Gabriella.
Mrs. B=Not yet, but it's very doable. I just don't want the smelly cut up fish on the boat. It's easier trading Mexican fishermen for lobsters.
I am sooo very pleased to know that all you childen are interested in my voyaging. Until next time, Gabriellas grandpa Phil.
