Arrived in La Cruz

Marisa posting email from Dave
Hi everyone,
We pulled into La Cruz about 230 this afternoon, hot and humid. We could have made it sooner but slowed to let the lightening along the coastal mountains subside with the day. Seems it's a nightly event. The place is pretty empty compared to times past, but it isn't season yet. Also, the restaurant and store here at the marina have closed, supposedly for the summer, but some of the residents are concerned that it may be more than that, anyway, oh well.
We had a good crossing from Cabo, got in under 48 hours to Pta. Mita so a little under 6 knot average. Some nice sailing and we caught some fish too, but not keepers. A nice whaoo broke our line and got a way (honest, must have been 5-6 foot) Then we got a sail fish, got him up to the boat and got the hook out and let him go, then we got a marlin, about 5-6 foot so small but what a fish. Let him go too. What we want is another tuna or mahi-mahi!
Bill and Buddy have booked their flights out this Sunday, so I'm solo until Marisa comes down later in the month, lots of boat projects to work on so I'll be busy.
All in all it was a good trip down, very interesting weather, very different conditions throughout the trip.
That's it from here, hope all is well in your world.
Dave
