The deck is moving forward.....

Doug and Lynne

Managing to secure the wheel over the curb and avoid the rebar on the sidewalk  was a magnificent first park job in Mexico for Brenda ( and no there was no wine involved!)! 

Don the Birthday Boy!

But first a goodbye to S/V Miramar. Doug,
Lynne and Higgins.  Off to the mainland and
a trip down to the south for fun.
 They will be back sometime in the spring to sail the Sea of Cortez.
     Then a trip to town just to get out with Brenda  of S/V Firefly and Lisa of S/V Gypsea.  The first thing we had to do was jump the Explorer then off we went.  Took a bit of time.
   Then it was Don's Birthday!  A cake, a musical
light house and a candle. Then dinner at El
Corazon. Another great night.
    Saturday was one of the lowest tides of the year and Don and Kathy and I took the dinghy
out to the Magote (big sand Island in the Bay)

A Birthday Dance!

and navigated                                                                          around all of the sand bars in the
                                                                           Bay. It was amazing to see how
                                                                           shallow parts of the Bay are. There were
                                                                            many folks out just walking on
the Bay.  Kathy has the pictures so
I need to get a few. I was driving.
It was a great excursion and the
Bay was calm and warm!

    Monday the deck started.  The old one came
off.  It apparently came off fairly easily
because the teak had not adhered properly
from the very beginning.  The deck itself
was in good shape and the new teak is
going down.  There are screws only on
the outside piece.  It is starting to
look like a deck.
    Anyway I am excited but tired and
we have to do it all again tomorrow.
Good night for now.
