Serenity on the Sea of Cortez
Jeff arrived on time and as planned last night after a long day in airports and airplanes. I’m pretty glad to have him home and he’s pretty glad to be home. Two and a half weeks doesn’t seem like a lot until you’re a week in and you’re not even half way through it and you feel like it’s been forever (probably because you’ve grown moderately codependent after spending every waking hour with your spouse for seven months).
Jeff came back with some goodies – Ghiradelli chocolate, Toblorone and a Glamour magazine – care of his friend Michael (thanks Michael!!!! I love it all!) which made it all totally worth it. He also came home with a new air filter for our engine (the old one is torn and dirty as all get out. Unfortunately, he didn’t have space in his bag to bring back our favorite potato chips (Maui Sweet Onion anyone?).
We will most likely take off today – bound for either Mazatlan or Isla Isabel, depending on how the weather shapes up. A blow is supposed to consume the center of the sea sometime late Thursday night, and we’re hoping to get ahead of it, because after the blow there appears to be NO WIND in sight for a couple of days…
I am really, truly going to miss Topo and Mochis and all the awesome people that made this place feel like home for a month. BUT we’re supremely excited to be on the sea again. The boat is more or less ready and we are more or less ready. Mostly we’re just eager to do some sailing! I hope we’re not too rusty after a month of non-sailing related activities.
Internet will be nonexistent for at least a week (my guess), and I didn’t get as far on back posts as I wanted (though there will be a few over the next couple of days). So, sit tight and we’ll be back in about two weeks with some more stories and pictures.
Sea is mostly attractive place which attract everyone to visit particularly me. As a traveler I frequently make sea trip with my personal ship and truly that gives me much pleasure. Thanks for this sound article.
Thank you for the kind words!
