We are back!

Oh boy does it feel good to be here, back home on my boat. We arrived in Cabo after an uneventful flight and quickly made our way through customs and immigration with no stops, yeah! A quick cab ride to the condo and we quickly dawned our suits for a quick dip before dinner. It was surprisingly how chilly the pool felt so it was the hot tub that held us for an hour or so. It was just a few weeks ago that the water in the pool was so warm that it wasn’t really refreshing but just wet. We had dinner at a nice place in downtown San Jose and then ended the night early after the day of travel.
Our 3 hour and 16 minute bus ride from San Jose to La Paz was also without incident and we were met by Jane to haul us to the marina. Rod and Jane have their car here this year so that has been great these first couple days. We unpacked and began pulling stuff out from inside the boat; solar panels, canvas, lines, bbqs, cushions, etc. We were quickly getting things back in order aboard Scott Free. Dinner at Tailhunter with Rod and Jane with a quick trip to the Cow Store for a few staples ended the first day.
Today we awoke so refreshed after sleeping in our comfy bed and the comfort of being home. With the boat being the place we’ve lived the majority of time for the past 3 and half years this does truly feel like home. Anyway, I gave Scott a haircut and we took showers then I went shopping with Jane to get groceries onboard and Rod helped Scott get the sails back up. By 4 o’clock we had mostly finished with the dingy splashed and went for a cocktail cruise to welcome Cetus and Prairie Oyster who came into the Marina today. With their arrival I think all members of the dock 3 club are back secure and ready for safety meetings which start at sunset tomorrow.
Safety meetings are just an excuse to get together for a dock party and watch the sunset, which has been fabulous! Oh a quick note, the weather is perfect, high 70’s low 80’s during the day and low 60’s at night.
