Saturday at the dock in La Paz


The Eagles is right and Danny Lou got it!!! Like she didn’t know. We have been just tinkering away and the kids hanging out with their buddies. We will be anchoring out tomorrow so trying to get all the “dock” stuff done. Steve has all the pieces to build our solar panels, so that is next I think. Today he is off fixing our buddies generator – the parts finally came! Gotta love the Mexican way. ( they were supposed to be here Tues/Wed) They arrived around 5pm yesterday. Have many new friends here with quite a few going to the South Pacific – that is cool!!
We are off for dinner and a swim with Noni. Charles and now her daughter Lee and Peter tonight. Learned a new card game “STICKS” what a great game!! Love it. Lee gave us hers .
Our boat looks great all painted! It’s been so long since it was all one colour! I will be painting the deck with the top coat this afternoon. Our boat is looking better and more complete everyday! Even got the top coat painted on most of the deck. Need to find some more paint.
Guess what? I have just learned how to burn DVD’s so am madly doing that – I am so excited !! Thanks Joe for the DVD Decrypter ( haven’t figured out the DVD shrink yet) and still can’t seem to get that Skype working yet. The internet connection is so intermitant but I will. It may take until PV to get that going.
The wind here has finally died down, so anchoring will be okay. Oh I forgot to answer the trivia question about the La Paz Waltz. Mom was just about bang on just had to add some – it has to do with the tide and current , what happens is the boats end up always going in the same direction around their anchor so eventually have twisted the rode ( chain/rope) around so much it actually pulls the anchor up on a high tide. So every 4 days or so one has to re anchor or you end up drifting. Hence the “Waltz”
