Our last 2 weeks in San Felipe went by like a whirlwind. But we did keep busy. Michel scored a ride on a Hobie Cat with Dan, a Hobie Cat racer from way back..... The wind was brisk and the ride was 'awesome' in Michel's words. Then over the next few days the Hobie Cats kept coming in. All you could see were masts up and down the beach. It was a sailors paradise.

We watched the Hobie Cat races right from our park. They postponed the race the 1st day by about 2 hours because the wind was too unpredictable, but when they finally got going it was quite a sight. There were only about 50 Hobie Cats, but they were all out there at the same time! The wind tipping some o
f them over. It's quite the procedure to get them back up again, especially when the wind keeps gusting. The 2nd day of the race was cancelled. Once again, the wind was unpredictable. Funny how sailors pray for wind, but this time they must have prayed too hard..... The sun came out by mid afternoon and it was nice and calm, but by that time a lot of the sailors were probably closer to home than San Felipe.March 3, 2007
We took in the "Tequila Festival" this evening - it's a 4-day affair with a $5 cover charge. Then you can go around and sample tequilla to your heart's content.... A good deal - if you like tequila!!! And "no" we didn't go all 4 days - only 1 .... There was entertainment and food booths as well, so we listened to the Mariachi Band play and the Senorita sing....
