because they would keep changing. We were determined to leave PV Monday morning. Rhea came down with a bug Sunday. She was much better Monday but we waited a day to make sure she is up to speed.
Christmas Eve found us with Tournesol and Eleytheria in a time-share overlooking the bay and city lights. A traditional dinner was served except the time-share didn’t have an oven and none of our boats had ovens that could handle a turkey over 10 pounds. We agreed that chicken would work. We stayed until midnight playing cards and enjoying the company.
Christmas Day was celebrated with friends from La Paz on Persistence. They are cruising long term with 13 year old twins. One of each gender. The boy seems to be enjoying the cruise. He is into computers and helping with the boat. The young lady misses her friends and playing sports, which are a big part of her life. Her big gift was some calling cards so she can call her friends. Until this fall the children have spent their whole life in rural northern California. The kids were not only very polite, they handled us old adults very well. A visiting older daughter who is getting her masters in accounting rounded out this fine family.
We went to another marina for Christmas dinner at a cruisers yacht club. About 60 people attended. Pot luck; cook your main course on their barbeque. We ran into Dream Caper and generally had a great time with good friends and food. How many of you have taken your own plates, silverware, main course and a large side dish to Christmas dinner on a bus? The cruising adventure continues with interesting people and situations being one of the best features.
Vagari will leave PV Tuesday with the morning tide. We plan to enjoy sailing in the bay with perhaps a side trip north to San Blas. We will be out a week or two and expect to have occasional access to the Internet.
