Yes, we are still in Mazatlan, almost putting roots down. Well, I hope not! but, we are certainly getting used to Mexican time. We had hoped to be away South by now, but we realize that we have been caught up.
We are busy all the time sorting out things and having many projects. David has taken out all the four GPSs, radar and VHF and the new equipments are now installed. The boat till be taken up on the 'hard' on wednesday for bottum maintenance and installing of spur-cutter. After that we have only to change the name from Aquarius , and we should be ready to go!
On this photo you see David selling equipment on the Swab-meet.
necklasses and ear- rings!
