still waiting on computer

hope to be up and running tomorrow. we are hoping to leave around the 20th of March, kids are great and Steve has been working like crazy to get the generator hooked up. The kids have been over at a fellows cruisers boat swimming in the pool in the marina. we went and stocked up at the new costco here.. more expensive than sams club and they already ran out of peanut butter on day 5 of being openned. (my whole reason for going) we spent $9400.00 pesos on food , and still need more stuff. there are about 55 boats jumping over to the Marquesas this year, a bunch have already left. will post photos soon

Hello Steve and Dionne...How are you? Where are you now? We are arriving in Mazatlan on April 12th then heading over to La Paz and spending the spring/summer/Fall exploring the Sea of Cortez before heading back to Silver Star for 4 months of winter. When do you head across the pond? Enjoyed reading your blog. Take care.

Good luck with the rest of the provisioning Dionne. It's quite a task to figure that all out and where to put it all.

I can't believe how many boats are heading to the Marquesas! Good to know there will be others "around" in the big blue ocean.

Hello again My Family!!

Well, I just found out that I will in fact be heading to North Carolina in April. *sigh* I do enjoy travelling but it seems that I am exhausted when returning not to mention behind on my work....oh well...can't complain I suppose. Not quite as nice as the travelling you all are doing! ;)
I got a message from Jake that you saw him the other day and will be going back to his store on Thursday...sure hope you get your computer fixed soon!!

Love you all and miss you,
