Another year behind us, it's really hard to believe. We haven't really done much, so there isn't much to blog about.
Here is a picture of the beautiful sunset we saw the other night.
Michel has work to do on his hobicat before he can go sailing. Felipe is the Mexican fella who is doing the work, so we have no idea when that will be done .... IF it will get done at all....OH WELL!!!
We met up with friends we met last year, Rick and Wendy, (they live here for 9 or 10 months of the year) and he has an 18 foot HobiCat, that hasn't been in the water for over 5 years.... BUT that didn't stop them. With the sailing bug in the air they did a 'dry run' at Rick's house to see if all the parts were there and if anything needed repair. They had to fibreglass one of the rudders, but that seemed to be all, except for the fact that the ropes and such were very dry and kinda stiff..... Then a couple of days later then put it into the water.
And off they went - - the sails filled with air and they did GREAT for about an hour.. Then - over she went !!
They spent another hour waiting for someone to rescue them. And another hour for the rescue boat to pull them in.
There was a bit of damage, but nothing that can't be repaired. And it hasn't deterred them at all. They are talking about WHEN they can go back out...... CRAZY!!!!
