The sun is hot, the days are bright, mosquitoes come out at night, and the boat keeps us busy preparing for another season on the Sea of Cortez.
We arrived in San Carlos on October 28 and are staying in a condo at Marinaterra (thanks Jack and Joanne!). We hope to put the boat in the water tomorrow or Wednesday and will go north for a couple of weeks, then back to San Carlos where we will tie the boat up in the marina, drive to Phoenix and fly to Seattle for Thanksgiving with the friends we have shared the holiday with for over thirty years.
What to say? It is hard to leave family and friends back home. As you know from previous blogs, we are proud new grandparents of a charming little girl. But you may not know that two of our dear friends died this summer; young, sorely missed.
We are reminded of the cycle of life that, on a daily basis, we see with the rise and fall of tides, sun and moon; and that is evident, from a more distant lens, in the growth of children, the success of young athletes, the languages learned and pictures painted, the mirror image that, more wrinkled and grey, greets us each morning.
Who knows what adventures this sea will bring...we are blessed that you are here with us.

Sounds like a wonderful plan. Hope you have a great time sailing, plus a wonderful Thanksgiving with your friends. That's what holidays are all about!
