Thanks for the B-day wishes. It was pretty epic. Landfall is pretty nice after 5 days at sea; I can't quite imagine the Parsons' 3 week sea adventure! I never knew calm could be so calm or quiet could be so quiet. This morning was boat cleaning while Bob was taken into San Carlos via Panga to get us checked into the country. Upon his return, his Panga captain, Miguel, took us on a 2 hour "tour" of the local fishing fleet, showing us how they caught the camarones and crab in fish nets and explaining the life, economics, etc. One boat had pulpo (octopus) they were cleaning, caught in traps on the outside of the harbor. Upon return to Puerto Magdalena village (pop about 50) we were able to buy 4 live lobsters for $5 each for dinner tonight along with crab and camarones from Miguel. We moved our anchorage out near the entrance to Mag Bay, anchoring with a group of 4 small sailboat cruisers, in shallow, clear 74* water with sand beach for afternoon Boche Ball. Met 1 couple from Seattle on their 36' steel ketch, built in his garage, with their twin, 5 year old boys, sailing the Sea of Cortez for the next year. Heading for La Paz later in the day tomorrow, probably a 3 day cruise. Love to all, miss celebrating the b-day with fam!

We are here-at the moment

LISTEN TO THE MUSTN'TS Shel Silverstein Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child, Listen to the DON'TS Listen to the SHOULDN'TS The IMPOSSIBLES, the WONT'S Listen to the NEVER HAVES Then listen close to me- Anything can happen, child, ANYTHING can be a sailor is an artist whose medium is the wind- live passionately, even if it kills you, because something is going to kill you anyway- --Webb Chiles --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You’ll never stumble upon the unexpected if you stick only to the familiar.” ― Ed Catmull--------------------------------------------------------------- In the artificial world of his cities and towns, man often forgets the true nature of his planet and the long vistas of its history, in which the existence of the race of men has occupied a mere moment of time. The sense of all these things comes to him most clearly in the course of a long ocean voyage, when he watches day after day the receding rim of the horizon, ridged and furrowed by waves… And then, as never on land, he knows the truth that his world is a water world, a planet dominated by its covering mantle of ocean, in which the continents are but transient intrusions of land above the surface of the all-encircling sea…Rachel Carson--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.------------------------------ Steve Jobs--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, 'Wow! What a Ride!'" Hunter S Thompson
