Back on the Boat!

Well I said that I was going to keep up with the blog this year so here I go... I made it back down to Into the Mystic this evening after 25+ hours of driving. Todd, a good friend, drove down with me which was really great of him, without his help getting down here would have been a nightmare. I ended up driving my old pickup truck down to Guaymas and she ran great the whole way, I really love that truck.

When we climbed aboard I realized just how poorly I put the boat away last spring... In my hurry to get out of here I left her a disaster, then on top of that she sat in a dusty desert for seven months which didn't help anything. When we got here we hosed her off and unloaded the truck. As of right now everything we brought down along with the sails, dinghy, kayak and cushions are scattered around the deck. Unfortunately the drive took significantly longer than we expected which meant it was dusk when we arrived. Unloading the truck in the dark was not easy, but we did manage to get everything done and then grabbed some food. 

Tomorrow will be filled with cleaning, stowing supplies and getting the boat ready to be put back in the water, and hopefully we will head south to Puerto Vallarta no later than Wednesday. Wish us luck!
