So, as the old adage goes, plans are written in the sand at low tide. And the tide has come in.

We were going to do the Pacific Puddle Jump this year and sail straight from Banderas Bay to the Marquesas in the South Pacific. Palms and Motus

Ah, the dreams of swinging from a hammock on a deserted isle, the smell of frangipani in the air (at least I hope that’s the smell), making landfalls and having the world as our yard.

But there are lots of dreams and going to the Galapagos is one as well.

Getting there is a little different, we will have to actually sail east from where we are now to get to them and there are a lot of great cruising grounds between here and there.

So cruising the “Gold Coast” of Mexico and then on to El Salvador and Costa Rica with their Parrots and Monkeys are going to be our next adventure before we go to Ecuador then on to the Galapagos before hitting those Palms and Motus.

It’s all good- or as the local slang has it- “todo bien”.
