and rainbows..
Everything that's wonderful is what I feel when we're together”
Well most of the time !! Lol
We are still in Nuevo Vallarta at the Paradise Village Marina, and it’s pretty darn nice !! If we have to be somewhere working on boat things… this is very nice!
It’s been very convenient to get parts sent here, ( never used to be easy) . The Marina is well run and looked after.
We’ve met so many people with such interesting stories about how they ended up in this lifestyle… so much so I’m thinking of a book? Journal Sketching the stories and turning it into a book? ( suggested by Kent a sailor friend) what do you think? Does that sound interesting? Ideas many, many ideas !!

On the boat front…Wow, the list of upgrades, repairs is too long for here ( it could get a bit boring - but maybe not for other mechanically inclined types)is so fantastic! Cam is the man! He’s been working so hard to get the boat all caught up !.

We’ve been out sailing with various groups of friends, I’m still a bit nervous when the wind picks up too much - ( others are loving the speed)
I’m definitely more for the relaxed sailing days ! Lol.
Cam was happy to have 4 Trimaran sailors join him for a day. They were in the area getting ready to deliver a Tri to the states.

Enjoying the local produce and making fun meals - part of cruising life! Sundowners and meals together and sometimes with others all part of the sailor lifestyle.

This area is a little more expensive than the usual areas that we go to. Now and then it’s really nice to go out, but generally we eat on the boat. Also, because of Omicron we weren’t going inside places other than grocery stores. It seems to have peaked here now, and the numbers are almost back to what they were in October.

I’ve been just amazed by how many Iguanas you see here! Sometimes right on the docks ! Not to mention the many Pelicans, Egrets and other beautiful birds.

The weather is steadily sunny, much cooler in the mornings and evenings which is nice ! I think I may find it cold when we go back in April.

We are following the horrific news in the Ukraine, so unbelievable that in 2022 this can happen. I’m glad the rest of the world is doing what they can . I can’t help thinking that some of these vastly wealthy Billionaires should help the people of the Ukraine somehow? Something other than sending rich actors into space? Can you imagine what a tiny bit of their fortunes could do? Elon Musk is worth over 200 Billion dollars… think about that number? 1 Billion is a thousand millions …. 1 just 1 .
Anyway ….

We are so excited that a group of Kamloops high school friends are coming March 15 for a couple of weeks. We will be celebrating our age! Lol.( we are all young at heart) They will stay in the area and come sailing with us. ( if they want to).
Take care everyone, if you’re in the area and want to visit or come sailing let us know.

It is joyous to be living this lifestyle, the older I get the more I realize it.
I miss my son and other family members and friends. but we’ve all had such a long couple of years apart due to COVID- let’s hope this is nearing the end.
Adios mi Amigas
Cam and Vikki
