Moving Along Again

Well we have managed to lazily lounge away a week here in Bahia de Tortugas. Neat little town, but I think a few days would have been plenty had we not got caught up in the little storm here. We have seen some great sunsets, found the coldest beer cooler in all of Mexico, and learned a little bit more spanish. We have been surprised at how many cruisers we have met who speak absolutely zero spanish, we have found ourselves acting as translators and helping others find where to fix there broken parts as most of them could not speak with the locals, smiles are great but it doesnt ask how to find a diver to find your overboard outboard, ( they dont work well under water). At the resteruant we had to help others order food as they couldnt ask the waitress for what they wanted, really our spanish is pretty bad, but apparently bad spanish is alot better than NO spanish.
We are heading off here in about an hour as soon as the fog layer lifts, I would like to be able to see where I am going at least a little bit. We will be headed towards Bahia Santa Maria / MagBay around 250 miles, we have been told that Santa Maria has more sanddollars on the beach than anywhere else, and Mag bay is the nursing grounds for the gray whales and their newborn calves on the migration route, really hope to see a few whales along the way as long as they are not too close.
We have been asked to post more photos so we will put togethor an album attached to the blog, and as far as an RSS feed I believe their is an icon in the corner of the page to subscribe to the feed ( I think).
We will be out of internet range for probably a week as we dont think we will get it in Santa Maria, so dont worry we are still here, just out of cyber- reach. The pic is is last nights sunset, not the best but not to shabby.
Have a very festive and beautiful New Year, be safe and we will talk again next year. Lots of love Doc and DD
