San Carlos!!!

We have been here in San Carlos for 2 weeks now and are having a great time catching up with old friends, and making new ones.  Unfortuently my camera got stollen on St. Patricks day at the Captains Club, so I do not have any pictures.  But we had a great night on St. Paddy's day hanging out with our friends, we have also gone to Guaymas a few times, and hung out at Ruby Wine Bar.  We are also getting the boat ready to be put on the hard, we have taken down the sails and halyards, washed the covers and lines, taken down the bimini and started to stow things down below.  Jerry and I are taking the bus up to Tucson on April 3rd to bring back my car that my parents are driving down from Stockton, an it just will happen to be my birthday, we will stay the night and come back to San Carlos on the 5th.  We have a haul out date on the 9th, and will head home on the 11th, things are going fast here, but we are excited to head home. 

It has been two years, six months and seven days since we have left the slip at River Point Marina in Stockton Californa.  We have travel 7161 nautical miles (plus some when going in and out of anchorages), which is 8235 miles, and have seen 4 countries, and wow what a trip.  But the time has come to go and see our friends and family back in Stockton, who we miss and are very excited to see.

Wow. I got shivers reading just how long you two have been out there on the boat. I remember you leaving the bay that October day. You've had the time of your lives. I just hope that I get to see you in Water World again. I wish I had been sailor enough to have buddy boated with you all. Well done, you two! Wish I was there to help!

Well done indeed! What an amazing adventure you've had. It's really something to be proud off. I have to chuckle reading this and all the "nautical terms." I don't know what half of those things are. Kudos to you both! Mom

Happy Birthday Lauren! and Hello Jerry...and Skeeter too!
We miss our cruising SOMF buddies! We're in the Las Perals Islands of Panama and wishing you both could come enjoy with us. We will be going through the Panama Canal at the end of next month (May)...needing experienced crew! (hint hint) We enjoyed our many ocean miles cruising with you, seeing new places, and of course the fun and adventures we've shared. Best of wishes and hope to read you're out on the "High Seas" before too long. WE MISS YOU!!! Sam & Nancy aboard SV WIndfall (out "there" somewhere)
