La Paz has been a flurry of cleaning, fixing, and preparing the boat...all the salt is gone; lines are clean and flexible. Stainless steel is polished. Teak is clean and covered. The headsail that got torn in the crossing has been scrubbed and sent to the sail-repair shop (In the past, Ardy has stitched it up by hand, but there was just too much to do this time!). The electrical issues (a short in the running lights and a disconnected cabin light in the V-berth) have been resolved. The engine oil and oil and water filters have been changed. The freezer defrosted. The mainsail track scrubbed and silicon applied. The mainsail cover mended. Laundry done. Several books have been read. Visits have been made to friends in town, on the dock, and out at anchor. Shopping has been done.
I think it's time to go on vacation. We hope to leave here Saturday, taking some friends back down to Los Muertos and then we will head north into the islands for the rest of the summer, ending up at San Carlos, Sonora, again where the boat will go into storage for the hurricane/rainy season.
