Mazatlan

Sunday February 10…11:15pm

Slept better than expected given the rolling of the ship, and the noise from the engines. Actually got out of bed to go to the bathroom at 1:30am, and was surprised to not wake up again until about 6:30am, so that’s not bad. Whiskey slept through the night as well, so that’s good, but she must be just about bursting.

Getting on the ferry to Mazatlan

Saturday February 9…11:00pm

Packed up at Tecolote and drove the 10 minutes to the ferry port at Pichilingue. It was funny because we got to the ferry terminal entrance way right at 10:00am which is when they opened, so got to drive right past all the trucks who had showed up overnight and were parked waiting to get in.

Last day at Tecolote

Friday February 8…11:00pm

Lazy kind of day today. Went for a bike ride by myself today…just 10 km or so. Ruth has started jogging again…maybe I’ll get up enough ambition to start joining her one day. I really like bike riding better though, so will make an effort to start doing more of it.

My birthday

Thursday February 7…11:00pm

Woke up this morning to a birthday “package” sitting outside our doorstep. Glen and Steve and Malcolm and Claire had made up a box with balloons and a bottle of wine and a box with cards and card game instructions. Lots

Climbed a hill

Wednesday February 6…10:45pm

Today was bright and sunny, but still windy. We did some reading in the morning, and then did a hike up the hill that overlooks the beach. We had done much of this hike last time we were here, but never made it to the top, so this time we went right to the top. Beautiful views in all directions.

Lazy day

Tuesday February 5…11:00pm

Well it was a pretty lazy day today! When we woke up, it wasn’t bad outside, but as the morning went on it got more and more windy. And it had been cloudy most of the morning as well. But the wind blew the sand around so it

Back at Tecolote

Monday February 4…10:00pm

Left the beach at Los Barriles around 9:00am. Glen and Steve had left earlier, so we went to our meeting place at the edge of town so that we could fill up with water and do a quick load of laundry. And so we filled up with

Los Barriles (day 7)

Sunday February 3...10:45pm

Got the corner of Steve's motorhome painted...the wrong colour! All we were doing is painting it with a spray can. There are already about 4 different shades of white on it, so it didn't really matter if there was one more...but this was a terrible match. The can says "contents are same colour as cap". WRONG. Contents are not even close to same colour as cap. Anyhow, when we find another spray can of white, we'll give it another shot.

Los Barriles (day 6)

Saturday February 2...11:15pm

Ruth went for a jog this morning early, while I once again repaired the rear tire on her bike. The first time, the glue we used wasn't designed for it...the second time, I didn't realize there were two holes, and the third time...it

Los Barriles (day 5)

Friday February 1... 9:40pm

It's never boring, that's for sure. This morning after breakfast, a herd of cattle wandered down the arroyo towards the beach where we are camped. (An arroyo is a dry river bed that only has water in it during the rainy season from September to November) They came right up to our motorhome, and it
