hi all, just another day in beautiful, sunny ensenada. we are staying at the hotel corona while the boat is on the hard at baja naval boat yard. we are having the bottom painted and we found some cracks in the keel, so they are going to repair it and raise the water line with a new red stripe. also having a line cutter installed on the prop. almost a necessity when cruising in warmer water. it will cut any kelp or crab pot lines we might encounter while at sea. should be back in the water about friday, i hope. it is very boring living in a hotel when we are so used to being on the boat. we do have tv here tho and we bought the entire series of the tv show 24 and are dilligently watching jack bauer get out of all his messes. quite interesting. sure glad we didn't watch it when it was on tv, i couldn't have waited a whole week for the next segment. i'm just not that patient. we are really enjoying it now tho, cuz we can watch a whole months worth in one night. not too much more happening here. had a couple of days of rain early in the week but it has cleared up and the streets once more are dry. they don't have much rain here and the streets really flood, like little lakes. quite interesting trying to get around them. we bought a new lap top as this one needs a little repair work, so i get this one now. once i get the picture up, it works ok, so i'm happy. we have a few more projects to finish on the boat and then we will be heading south, maybe in december. not sure where we will end up yet, but i will be updating the blog more often, and you will be able to follow us on our journey. hope this finds everyone happy and healthy. write again soon. hugs to all
