Just a quick update.. to let you know we have moved along. The great ship Shannon's Spirit has been cleaned, serviced, packed up, and put to bed. She is securely nestled between four "hurricane poles" in the secure storage yard of Marina San Carlos Seca and she will be watched over by a small fleet of security and maintenance staff.
We packed up Rikki and headed north yesterday. After attempting to file the correct paper work with Mexican officials at the border, we were forced to give up. Four different officials had four different opinions about which form (or if any form) was required for us to remove some equipment (in need of repair and/or replacement) from Mexico. Guess we'll test the waters next fall when we return with our new and/or repaired boat parts. The US border staff were good to us and we were through and on our way to Rio Rico (for an over night at Esplendor) by mid-afternoon.
It's early Wednesday morning and today we will drive to Tubac and reclaim TT (Travel Trailer) Lucy, who has been shivering patiently in unusually cold weather. We hope to move aboard either today or tomorrow. Coincidentally, the annual Tubac Art Festival starts today and we're looking forward to experiencing that before moving on.
We'll write again as we travel through AZ and CA. We hope to visit some pretty neat places and will share our discoveries as we find them... take care one and all.... And stay warm! this weather has to improve soon... All the best to you and yours... From CJ, K and Princess Sophie (still going strong at 14 years young :-)
