This is one of those bittersweet moments. Leaving Marina Palmira, which we've called home since November 21st, causes the clutch feeling in our gut as we say goodbye to our friends. We hope most of them we will see down the road. Some in the north sea this summer and some back home as we remain friends out of the water as well.

It is 10am and Scott is up checking us out and I've got the power cord stored and things ready to go when we push off. This morning we had coffee and pie with our friends as we said our "see you laters".

We will be out of range until about April 26th when we pull into Puerto Escondido to haul and then bus our way to San Jose Del Cabo to fly home on the 4th. We can be reached on sailmail during this period.
