Subject: Back in La Cruz
After a horrible passage bashing upwind, we are back in La Cruz. We arrived mid-day, pulled up alongside Lady Carolina, and it felt like home. They welcomed us back with drinks, snacks, and a fun afternoon just hanging out on Lady Carolina. The work starts today, though, as we make our final preparations for the puddle jump. We hope to be ready by next week, and then leave some time in the first 2 weeks of March, weather dependent. We are working on a tentative route through the south pacific islands to New Zealand, so we can give you all vacation spot ideas.
Love and miss you all.

Our departure date is firming up. We gave our paperwork to the Nuevo Vallarta Port Captain for a Monday departure. We are just going to have a nice final weekend in La Cruz and do some light provisioning tomorrow. I will also prepare about 3 dinners in advance in case I’m seasick when we are first out. Weather is looking like it’s going to cooperate. Stay tuned…
