I’m almost gone! I leave on a flight Tuesday morning down to Cabo where I’ll meet up with Scott and enjoy a few days acclimating at the timeshare. From there we’ll take the bus back to the boat in La Paz.

Scott has had our friend Bob onboard Scott Free since last Wednesday showing him our favorite town and a couple nice anchorages. Also discrediting the rumor that Mexico is unsafe one friend at a time. It is so funny how people ask us what special precautions they need to take or if it really is safe down here. So let’s see, what are the top headlines on our local news media website: Axe-wielding man robs North Seattle convenience store; 5 arrested in Everett home invasion robbery; Bellevue man accused of killing wife with hatchet held on $1M bail and of course coverage of the tragedy of the slain teenager Trayvon Martin in Florida. I’m not sure it’s safe to be in the States. These are just examples from local news and doesn’t mention what has happened in the last couple days in other metro areas across the country.

Anyway, I digress. To say I’m looking forward to heading back down south where the wind is warm and the fish tacos are cheap is an understatement. My floating home awaits along with my wonderful husband who has survived on peanut butter on a spoon for almost 3 weeks.
