“Don’t get me wrong, we love you guys!”

I’ve probably mentioned that most cruisers in Mexico are retirement age, and also that there are a few our age both with and without children.  But every once in awhile, I mean like almost never, we meet some younger, like twenty-something, cruisers.  In La Cruz we met s/v Moments who are taking a year off from their young lives to cruise.  He’s and electrical engineer and she’s just finishing medical school, so of course they’re geniuses and surprisingly fun to be around.  We only hung out a couple times, including Christmas Eve on Lady Carolina, the night in Bucerias at Luna Lounge, and when we had a dock party behind Exodus for Rachel’s 28th (I think) birthday.  I’m sure I asked for it, but I struck up a conversation with Rachel about how they are younger than most of the cruisers, and she mentioned they had met a few their age in La Cruz which has been a lot of fun.  Almost certainly she was thinking maybe she was implying that “we” weren’t as fun, so she followed it with, “Don’t get me wrong, we love you guys…”  And yes, with that little sentence I was officially cast into the old people pile.   Forty something (I mean late thirties) has it’s perks, though, so I can live with it.
