We were put back in the water last Friday the 19th of Novemeber, same day our friends from S/V SeaHorse arrived from Texas, They were put in the water the following Monday, after a weekend of work and some fun at the El Captians!  We all headed North to Marina Real at Algadones Beach for a 3 night slip stay to provision and wait out a storm of 25 to 35 knot of wind expect here on Thanksgiving day.  We rented a car and spent all day Wednesday provisioning both boats.  Our plans for Thanksgiving with S/V SeaHorse, Cam and Janie, we will fininsh provisioning our boats then maybe go for a hike up a canyon here and look for monkeys! Thens its back to the boat for our dinner.   We plan to anchor out here on Friday and take our dinghy to the beach for a visit to the Soggy Peso, should be fun!  On Saturday we will sail across the Sea of Cortez and start exploring south to La Paz for Christmas then across to Mazatlan and south from there.  Cam and Janie will sail with us then head back to San Carlos sometime the end of December or early January in their boat. Brian and I plan to explore the pacific coast of Mexico until end of March or early April.  We have some friends and family that will come visit at various spots, we look forward to that.  Anyway I will try to keep you posted when I can, hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday!!!!
