I'm sitting quietly, in the cockpit. Dinner is done and dark has fallen. The boats... well, they surge (gently tonight) back and forth on their lines. Some are heavier...move more slowly but with more power. They risk their cleats. Others, less heavy, dance lightly but with energy. They all move. It s a dance they do... and, while we sit secure but dancing... I can t help but compare.
At anchor, we dance as well. It's different though; we dance with each other. It's a constant movement around the anchor and in sinc (sort of) with others anchored near by.
We've just had a marvellous dinner. Kathy came home with a chunk of Ahi tuna fresh off the boat. Needless to say the first course was sashimi... followed by seared Ahi tuna and kale salad. Not bad hey... for a sailboat in Mexico. Combined with a glass of chilled white wine... well... it was awesome. We are two very lucky gals.
We ve had a good day... getting excited about leaving/moving on. The future awaits us.
Tomorrow will be a full day; getting our refrigeration recharged (fingers crossed that's all, it needs), topping up the water tanks, stripping off the tarps, readying the sails and stocking the cupboards... and saying goodbye for now to all our friends here.
Yes, we actually may have a window for leaving... If it comes to be, we will slip mid-day on Thursday and be in Tenacatita mid-day Friday. Keep your fingers crossed for us... thanks. Will let you know when we're sure we're on our way.
OK, have to go now. Kathy's just put some old Christmas songs on... I must go and sing (haha... do not be afraid).
Talk again soon. CJ
