I know I said I would talk about the Guadalajara Food Tour, but since I'm on day two of a new diet, talking about food today wouldn't be good for me. So I'll delay that for a day until I've built up the strength!





Today it started, the project list I have for the month of March to work on while I'm alone with Lori and the kids back in the States. The first order of business is to remove 1/2 of the back splash on the galley island to open things up and give us some better counter work-top area, install a new sink and faucet if I can find one here in Manzanillo, and then sand, varnish, and paint the galley Island. We have already decided that when we are in La Paz in May we will hire Diego again with the goal of stripping and varnishing the complete upper salon, but having the crew off the boat will give me a good head start and besides who needs a working galley when I have the taco carts of Barra...did I mention my new diet is a Taco Diet?

Also on the list:

* Paint the forward Head
* Paint Jason's room (and perhaps toss some of the junk he has in there)
* Wire-in the Bow running lights that are now "temporary" going on 18 months!

The Big Project....Re-organize the boat lockers to finally try and recover from the way we moved aboard in two weeks by literally throwing stuff off of the old boat and cramming it in where ever it would fit. With the crew gone, I'm going to empty out all the interior lockers and then finally get my tools and spares spread form 15 lockers down to just ONE!!! This one task will free up so much easy prime storage space that Lori will love me for it. Sure I would have done it when Lori was here to supervise, but then again, how would I be able to toss some crap off the boat with her here?
