Welcome to Vagari’s 7th winter of sailing. We have put 8,000 miles under Vagari’s keel during those cruises but this year like last year won’t be a high mileage year. We just don’t have the lust for the long cruises that we did when we started cruising but we still enjoy living on board and sailing near our homeport. Welcome aboard! We hope you enjoy our blog. Your comments, questions and suggestions are appreciated and encouraged.

MORE FROM ISLA SAN FRANCISCO

Friday evening we went to a potluck dinner on the beach. Sunday evening we are doing it again.

Saturday six boats assembled on the beach at 9:30 AM for a hike. After the first steep uphill only two boats kept going to the top of the "hook" hill. The rest went along a ridge to a beach on the other side of the island. We met at a natural salt pond in the middle. The local fishermen use this salt for personal use and to salt their catch. I took a small hunk "for the grandkids".

We spent the evening on s/v Liberty Call II with the crew from s/v Linda for drinks and Mexican Train. We had an interesting discussion on the differences between US and MX history and the effects on the countries today.

A big-crewed powerboat was anchored next to Liberty Call II. A young American couple from the Denver area owns this vessel. One guest, a young lady, would yell and then jump into the water from the top deck. She didn't use a swimsuit perhaps because it was almost sunset. Finally, after the 6th jump and after a very careful examination of the circumstances the guys on Liberty Call II agreed with her judgment.

We are staying another day because Steve and I want to climb the tallest peak on this island.

Via radio more later 4/21/07 6 PM
