WOW! Has it been one month since I posted the last Blog? I guess so. There has been a lot of water that has passed under Dolce Vita since then and a continuation of the adventure. If you have watched our progress on the Locator web site that I gave you, I am not going to bore you about each location other than to add some photos that may highlight some of the spots.

We had only two problems after leaving San Diego and we solved both of them as we have become pros at fixing stuff without the advantage of going to a hardware store or calling a mechanic.

We continued to enjoy the many people we met and the food we ate along the way. I can't say what my favorite spot was because each one was so different.

We had to do more than expected number of 24 hour sails but other than finding ourselves tired after those legs, they were uneventful while in Mexican waters.

My sailing partner, Bob, went back to California yesterday after spending a day and a half in La Paz. He is retired and has been for some time, but he had to get back to his part time job before he got fired. Not the kind of retirement I want to spend.

Bob and I were together in a very small spot for 2 months and through that time and all that happened, we got along just fine. Each of us were a little cranky in the mornings, especially Bob when I said we were pulling anchor at 6 in the morning :). I found out during this trip that he enjoys sleeping until 10:00 am every morning. Since I enjoy rising at 6:00 am, I was not his best friend in the mornings.

Bob joined me in Monterey as a good sailor and left the boat in La Paz as a great sailor. I will always be very grateful to him for joining me on this trip and making it possible.

I am now sitting in the Marina de La Paz with a number of other cruisers and enjoying the town, the food and again the people. My Spanish is also improving at a fast pace.

I am going to stay here until July 1st when I fly back to Minnesota for Mom's memorial and then onto California to visit my family and friends our there. I am not sure how I am going to survive the cooler weather back home but I don’t think I will be sitting in the back yard in my shorts without a shirt. I will be in California for 2 months and I promise I will make an effort to see everyone.
