Its nice to be back in Ensenada. The weather has gotten a little colder. Normal daytime temp is around 20C, but we've been up to 25C. Nighttime cools off quickly. We hit the dewpoint right after sundown and things stay wet until sunrise again.
We're leaving in10 days! It is exciting and a little scary thinking about it.
It took us a while to get moving after we arrived. Somehow, our power was turned off long enough to have thawed everything in the freezer. It took us all day to clean it up. Then Neil got sick. We also discovered that water got into one of our food storage areas. That was a hell of mess (and stink) to clear up. The smell was so bad, we're not sure we'll ever get it out of our heads. Hopefully all the bleach and vinegar we used did the job well. We're learning a lot!
We've been busy, as usual. We have a few minor things to take care of before we leave. We've been getting updated Mexican papers. We're working with a nice lady and she says once we're done, we can drive our car in Mexico (we couldn't get it licenced in Canada anymore). We will also get free medical care. We need to make some minor adjustments to the dinghy setup. And we have a new loadhailer speaker to install. We need to install new wires for our steaming lights. We have a second anchor holder for the bow coming that needs to be installed. No skidding material has been installed, for the most part on the parts of the deck that didn't have it (the house). We'll probably finish it today.
Neil is learning a bit about scuba. We've got all the equipment and he's been trying it out in the pool. (Sharon has her license.)
We're not sure where we'll end up in La Paz. There are many marinas there and some beautiful anchorages. We're planning on using the time there to decide how we prefer to journey - via the marina/city life/car, etc way, or via the free and natural way, on the hook.
Everything is under control. We're almost ready for the big trip.
Good luck on your Baha Haha trip. Enjoyed watching your videos.
