Merry Chirstmas one and all from La Paz!
One of the best presents ever received - a jar of Pasas (chocolate covered raisins) - was under the tree this morning. Obviously I did not pack the snack closet very well and our sweet supply is next to empty. Not a big supply of 'good' chocolate here on Baja Sur, so when I saw these at the grocery, my eyes opened wide and I started to salivate. Then I saw the cost and my eyes got even wider! $34 American dollars. I decided 'we' could do without. But Santa must have gotten an ear full because here they are! Sweet delicious nuggets!

After presents, scones and 'A Christmas Story' we took a beautifully quiet walk on the beach. Once back we had more presents on the computer from our kids and grandkids. Technology can be so fantastic.
This afternoon is a potluck for cruisers in this marina. Ed's down for a siesta now but will be making jambalaya and I'll be bringing my famous cream cheese corn.
Last night was a finger food potluck for all cruisers in all marinas at the La Paz marina; Club Cruceros. A chance to see fellow sailors we've met along this journey and to meet new. We went with Mitzi and John sailing on L'Ange 1 (French for angel.) Had a lovely time.

I overheard a VHF distress call from a boater with engine failure in a major but narrow shipping channel, with a large ship bearing down on them. After a somewhat panicky conversation with the Coast Guard, a passing boater towed the disabled boat out of the way, and all was well.
ReplyDeleteThere was a gentle wind blowing, but essentially the conditions were "calm" which seemed propitious under the circumstances.
I drove by the town's guest docks that evening, identified the disable boat by its name ... and noted that it was a sailboat. Apparently it hadn't occurred to the skipper to raise the sails.
(Hope this isn't Ed!! LOL) Love you guys. :) ~ Trish
