Holla again, long time no see...

So much has happened since our last entry. We spent xmas and new year in France with family and friends, mostly in the snow...then came back to Ensenada and flew to Canada for a month to work...in snow again...then came back to Ensenada and flew to Costa Rica see the kids for a month...in the sun this time...and came back to Ensenada to get ready to sail south! After three days at sea, we are now in Turtle Bay, half way south on the west coast of Baja California. We have been enjoying this little, dusty, friendly mexican fishing village, at the end of a dirt road crossing the desertic Baja, for more than a week as we had some sail repairs to do. On our trip from Ensenada to Turtle Bay, we had a wonderful wind and for the first time since we left Canada, have been able to sail, sail, sail... but a little too much wind for the genoa! We are getting ready to leave on sunday, may 7th, for La Paz, the boat being in dire need of paint job above and below waterline.
