Carole
Back at the boat and time to do some boat chores and shop for fresh fruit and veggies, etc. Oh, and for Carole to get a hair cut....finally found a hairdresser that was recommended. Carole says it sure feels better.
The fruits and veggies at the markets here in Mexico are sooooo good! Ken worked on maintenance stuff, changed the oil and filters, fuel filter, washed the boat, fixed stuff that needed fixing, nice to keep on top of those items. Carole started some sewing projects, we now have sumbrella covers for the fuel tanks that are kept on deck, one off the checklist, next it will be the winch covers and grommets in our suncover for the boat. We have had a great time visiting and getting to know the other cruisers on the dock and it looks like we have a weather window to cross the Gulf of Tehuantepec and head for Chiapas, our last stop in Mexico. Some of us are heading out this afternoon and the rest are heading out tomorrow. The Gulf of Tehuantepec is notorious for it high winds, so you have to wait for them to subside for a few days, that window starts today and ends on Saturday evening. We should be arriving in Chiapas before dark on Friday. It looks like there are about 5 of us heading out today.
