A quick up-date…

 Hello all.  As some of you know, we are not on our way to the west coast as we had initially planned. The unfortunate weather-related devastation to the coastal areas of CA and OR have given us ‘cause to pause’ and, after due consideration of several factors, we decided to abort that portion of our plan.  

We have had the pleasure of meeting up with old friends (not like aged seniors 😊….but dear friends we have known for years).  Anyway, after we left our long time sailing buddies who now live in a magnificent home atop a gorgeous mountain (and in the ‘back of beyond’) we headed north again to Casa Grande to a very posh RV Park and spent two fun days with friends… and then didn’t we finally head west and catch up with two more for an evening.

Today, instead of heading for the coast, we have returned to one of our favourite haunts, good old Rio Bend RV and Golf Resort just outside El Centro. We will lounge about here for 12 days and then begin to wind our way north and to home.  I have booked the Coho Ferry for April 9th and, all going well, we’ll be on it.  So for now, know we are sitting still and just going to relax and enjoy the warm weather. It is indeed warm but it is also very windy; gusts of 50 MPH expected tonight and, hopefully, they will abate in time for the rain on Wednesday 😄  Fear not; we have books, and cards, and rum. We shall survive.

Wishing you all safe travels, fair winds, no snow and soothing smiles and hugs.  CJ
