Ange
The past two weeks have been taken up with jobs on PANNIKIN, attending Pacific Puddle Jump seminars at Vallarta Yacht Club & also some fun time.
The couple of days at Punta Mita were great. Steve got some fabulous waves & the whale watching was awesome. Every time you looked up you could see a whale... some were close... only 100 metres from the boat & others were on the other side of the bay. One night we even experienced a 10 minute whale song - heard it right through the hull of the boat - they must have been close!
For Ange's birthday this week we took a two day road trip inland to see the round pyramids of Guachimontones near the town of Teuchitlan & also visit the town of Tequila. Most of Mexico's tequila is made here from the blue agave plant & we visited the distillery of Jose Cuervo. We got to taste lots of tequila - yucky!! Then a quick stop for a soak in hot springs one the way home & we were back on PANNIKIN by night fall Friday. We had a lovely dinner beside the lake of Presa La Vega on Thursday night. Their speciality was frog legs – caught from the lake. They were really nice - a cross between chicken & crab!!!
We are still aiming at leaving for the Pacific early March. We head across to Nuevo Vallarta on Tuesday to book into Paradise Village Marina where we will provision the boat & have our rigging work done. It's getting close now!
