Yesterday was a bit busy running around town and exploring sections of the city. We got into the big vendor area that exists more for the touristas seeing as it is placed directly off the docks from the cruise ships. We got away from that and picked up some stores for the boat, as well as a bit of trinkets from the best jewelry shop in town. Right in the door they handed us all marguritas as we shopped. NICE tactic!
Today we sorta scrambled up early with 5 blasts of an air horn. Richard was up and saw the nearby boat "Marythought" was drifting down towards us. We had our dink launched in record time and ready to assist but they missed us and had their engine started before the got into too much trouble. It was a good exercise.
We dove right in to a bunch of boat chores. Richard dove right into installing the new inverter and new crewmate Amit and my job was to replace a blown out piston hank on the main staysail and while the stuff was out we replaced a few others that were really worn.
Around noon we snuck off to the cliff divers and had a few drinks, chips and salsa. Some of those guys were pretty good, but they had quite a racket going. We hit a few more shops on the way back looking for a few things but got out of town when we saw yet another cruise ship docking. It's going to be a busy night on the strip tonight. We can hear the clubs across the water till the very late hours every night.
With only a few things left to stow, and storm covers to put on, I hear we should be out tomorrow morning for Hualtuco. There we sill spend a few days, check out from Mexico, and continue south.

Are the two of you sharing the same bunk you were in on your first tour? If so, is it cramped or OK?
Paula and Byron.....
Enjoy yourselves. It sounds like you are going to have a great time and there is always work if and when you decide to come home.
If there is anything I can do here, just let me know.
Enjoy your trip.
Tom....
P and I are in different bunks. Since we sleep with our gearbags space is a bit tight and it works out better this way. (ie- she booted me out)
