I got back from Quito last night after ten hours on a bus with crying babies, kicking kids, and rather large seat companions.

Dad has Sora filled to the brim with water and fuel. We decided to blow off a big trip to the city for provisioning and spent this morning in the market loading up on freshies. Mangoes, apples, spinach, celery, peppers, strawberries, raspberries, broccoli, pumpkin, pineapples, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, oranges etc...Looks like we�re gonna be vegetarians for a while! The meats here are not frozen and are of questionable quality, but I bet we catch a couple of fish during the crossing.

We plan on heading out tomorrow morning at slack high, which will be around 8:30am. We�re both looking forward to putting some miles under the keel. Sora is rarin to go as well with her new clean bottom...yeee haw!

Cheers to being on the road again
