Well we are getting ready to leave in the morning to head south, next stop Bahia Aqua Verde, which is 23nm south. Just wanted to tell everyone what we have been up to these last 4 days here in Puerto Escondido. Wednesday and Thursday Jerry and I just hung around on the boat going to shore with Skeeter to run and play. Jerry had Mark from SV Orchid over to help clean the bottom of the boat, the barnacles were starting to get pretty thick so it took him many hours, but it got done and we much appreciated it. Kate from SV Akupara was really sick for the whole time here so she did not get off her boat much, we walked up to the store with Dan a few times to stretch our legs and get some provisions. On Thursday the Hidden Yacht Club here in Escondido played Mexican Train Dominos which was fun to watch, I got there late so did not play but still fun.

That night we invited Kelly and Becky over for Jerry’s famous and delicious Camarones a la Diablo.
Friday Jerry, myself, Skeeter and Kelly and Becky from SV Escape walked up the canyon, which is known as Steinbeck Canyon. Last February when Jerry and I were here we did the canyon, but it was bone dry, so we were hoping that there would be some pools full, but unfortunately there was still no water. This time Kelly took us farther than we went last time going through some harder areas and small holes. Skeeter was able to make it almost the whole way with some help from Kelly and myself. It was fun to see all the large pools, or what should have been pools up farther in the canyon. Becky and Kelly were here last October and said that the pools were all full, so it looked different for them with no water in them.

Then later that night SOMF hosted another little get together with SV Akupara, Kate was felling better so she got to come, SV Escape, Kathy and Steve from SV Lilly and Mark from SV Orchid for a fun night of appetizers and cocktail. I attempted to make empanadas that I had a recipe from a cocktail party book that I had, well after three hours to make a 30-minute dish they were ready and edible. To say the least it was another great party. Today was a lazy day, walked up to the store with Kate and Becky while Jerry helped Kelly put his bow pulpit back on. Then I made some spaghetti with the left over filling from the empanadas that I made the night before, and have to say it was much better today. Tonight we are having Kelly, Becky, Dan and Kate over for some burgers and margaritas, it has been so much fun going to anchorages with the four of them, unfortunately we are going to have to say are goodbyes soon cause we are all going to be going our separate ways. I am sure glad Jerry and I got the chance to meet such amazing people, but that is what this cruising life is all about, and we love it.
