9-22-2010 Bahia de los Angeles

We're still "roughing it" down in Bahia de los Angeles (BLA). We were planning on heading back to Santa Rosalia a week or so ago but didn't quite get around to it for a variety of reasons; mainly a corollary to Newton's law about an object "at rest staying at rest" but also because statistically we're still in the middle of hurricane season. We got reminded about that with tropical storm Georgette currently barreling up the Sea, but it looks like she'll miss us (fingers crossed). Several of our friends a bit to the south of us got smacked pretty hard but came out drenched but fine. The eye went right over the top of them but luckily the winds weren't too bad.

We haven't really been doing much, lots of reading and just lazing around the boat. We'll be very happy though when we finally feel it's safe enough to move out of here back to "civilization". It's been almost two months since we've had a real shower or have been able to wash clothes in a real machine. Even though we have a watermaker, we're in water conservation mode since we have to run the motor to make water and refilling our diesel fuel is a lot of hard work, the nearest gas station is a two mile walk hauling jerry jugs (after a mile dingy ride).

Enough complaining :-) All is well here and depending on the weather, we should be in Santa Rosalia in a couple of weeks. In the mean time we have another full moon party tomorrow so all of the cruisers in the area are gathering around. I'll take pictures which I'll be able to post sometime in the future.

Cheers,
Carolynn & Tom
