Well Mystic, Todd, Enzo and I made it up to San Carlos yesterday, (a whopping fifteen miles in the wrong direction) and had a day of rest today. Tomorrow we are planning on heading south to Puerto Vallarta. We heard this morning on the net that there was a storm rolling into the sea tomorrow, but all of our Grib files and weather information claims that there should only be 20-25 kts of wind, which means we will get there quick!
The boat is doing great, all of the systems are working nicely and she is finally tidy! I think I may have given Todd a heart attack when he stepped aboard in the dry yard and saw what a disaster she was. It took us two days to get her cleaned up! I am so excited to be heading off here in a few hours, I have to say that I am in desperate need of some trees... The desert is cool for a little while, but ultimately the dust and the dry air is not that pleasant. I think the wood on Mystic is also looking forward to a little humidity. When I bought her there was a small crack in the table, after seven months of sitting in a dry yard, that crack has grown. I am hoping that a little moisture will swell her wood a little bit and bring her back to normal.
I have been terrible about taking pictures thus far. That needs to change, and will change as soon as we get out of here, (so long as the weather isn't too bad.) I have also been playing with my go pro camera a little bit, and would love to start uploading videos, but the internet is incredibly slow down here. Hopefully I will be able to find some high speed internet in PV and get those out there. Until then you will just have to deal with my rants on the blog. Next time I write will (hopefully) be from Puerto Vallarta!! And warm weather!
