We are still anchored in Mag bay

We are still anchored in Mag bay in front of the sand dunes at 24* 38.246'N 112* 68.214W

Steve and Robert are still working on the other boats engine. had a few glitches, the new water pump they bought exploded in to pieces so between our boat and Roberts boat they have enough spare parts to build one for them. Steve even has gasket material here to make a gasket. Thank god Steve and Robert are so mechanical. They should be done today. I say that Free Style ( the boat getting fixed ) is so lucky to have met us and Robert.
It has been foggy here the last two mornings and lots of dew. I go and wipe down the boat with free water. We had a great pot luck dinner last night here on Orca III , we have been the galley and head for the Free Style Crew and the other mechanic. We've Free Style to us to make things easier. For the first 3 night they had to sleep on our boat also. We are now called Casa de Orca - ( hotel Orca- maybe we should write a song about that...hmmmm....)

have been going to the beach everyday while the boys work away, we've got both dingys in the water along with the kyack and the hammock is up. Life is good. Have baked up a storm and this time I put a bunch in the freezer, we make water 2times a day and yesterday and today I have hand washed more laundry. Oh how the hell did they do that in the olden days I'll never know!! It is hard work ringing out those clothes. And we have been wearing them for about 4 days!!

The kids are having a great time, Kyle does a lot of fishing and they have all been building quite the coolest sand cities, we saw a dead sting ray on the beach and you should see the shells the girls have collected. We have 4 huge abolone shells !!

We are hoping to leave on Tuesday to head towards Cabos. It's about a 24hr run depending on the wind.... I will hopefully be able to update the blog then.
take care and love to all

Sounds like it is time to stock up on the new lightweight fast drying synthetics. So much easier to wring out than cotton. Prices have come way down on performance fabrics. Look around Cabo while you are there.

Sure sounds like you are having fun. Everyone doing what they love, baking, fixing, fishing, shell collecting. Bliss

Hello Lovely Little Family!!

Things are moving fast around here...Andrew has been very busy helping Len's family with arrangements. Len passed away on New Years Eve. I'll tell you more about that in a private email. Work is going alright, lots of changes happening right now...exhausting, but will be good in the end! I've been taking particular enjoyment in your blog postings and pictures lately, makes me feel like I'm on vacation if only for a few minutes! kids are good...Merrick made it to 14!!We are looking into getting him into Lacrosse. They really are all growing so fast...starting to feel old!!! I can't wait for you guys to get to a place with internet. Missing your trivia questions, and funny comments. You all look sooo great!
Love you all so so much, talk to you soon! Big squeezes all around
Auntie Danny Lou, Andrew & crew xoxo

Hello my beautiful Tremblay family!!!
We're back from Disneyland and had a fabulous time. Ila was so very kind and generous to us all. We arrived back on Monday (14th) and I fell right into bed to get my 4 hours sleep before starting back to work. I was later getting here than I planned because my car doors were frozen shut....a very big climatic shock..lol. Thought of you all every day as we wandered around in the California sunshine. Thinking of you all comes very easy as I read your blog and experience (along with all the other readers)the joys and challenges you're experiencing. I can see a book coming out of this..lol.
Must get back to work, just wanted to let you know we're back safe and sound.
Love always,
Auntie Sandy
