we sit here watching a few storms form and dissipate, now we have a set of fun ones being pushed by high pressure above and below into our neighborhood– puerto vallarta looks like the intended target, but mother nature has a sense of humor and plays practical jokes. thi one named jova is conjoined in twinville with irwin, and both are predicted to come this way despite our efforts to have them go to sea…
our basin is protected to a cat 3, at which time we all die…lol.. but as of this moment, the predictions are cat 3 for pv, ts for us…i like that we have a bit of a natural protection in geography of the area, and much baffling of waters as our entrance looks to have been designed with storms in mind.
so we hunker down and wait for fun and games–mebbe i should buy some party goods and have a hurrycame party on my dock…. there are many boats that are mostly unattended here and federales, as well… will be interesting to see what comes of this mayhem from the sea.
is always good to remember that the gods gave us this blessing of pair a dice and they can also take it away… seems we forget that bit all too often.
and, yes, i am staying on board until i can no longer–if is cat 3 or above, we leave, and the boats must fend for selves, but it still isnt looking like that problem will occur. unless mommy natcher has a bad twist to her humor.

yes, martha, i will take pix, and mebbe even videos, but i think yours are safe for the national geographic live aboard in a ‘cane prize…..

nyc boatlift….9=11

this is truly cool…..might even grab your sensitivities a lil….

seems that irresponsible journalism in usa is stifling the economy here in mexico, mazatlan in particular, as the  rabid reports without  proper details of bodies being found in Z or X location and how it is unsafe for tourists–  bunk and mallarky.

there has been   violence, yes, but it has been directed  towards those who are involved with   criminal activities and  drug culture.   normal tourists and cruisers are not  involved. we are safe from  problems we do not impose upon ourselves . if we remain out of the spiders web, that spider will not bite us.

come down and have a great time and stay away from bad guys and bad activities. it is not  as the reporters would have you believe– they need to fill their pockets, and they will do so  on the backs of  struggling economies as they print  whatever they believe will make  papers and  media sell.

this year , there have been 50 restaurant closures due to lack of tourism.  this is bad. is bad for the mexican culture and is bad for the usa residents who enjoy  returning to this  lovely area.  it is also bad for the mexican economy , which is struggling to remain in decent shape.

just phoned skype to bank and was advised i am able to get my statements via an email!!!!!
i love my bank….is very cool to be able to have such wonderful service from those with whom business is frequently done!!!!
and with whom one'[s life is held in hand…LOL
