Barra de Navidad, April 5, Monday

We listened to the net, then Renee’ took the laundry in and worked on baking some cinnamon bread. After it was done, we went over to the S/V BAY DREAMER and took their tender out for a spin. It is very light weight, and a bit unstable at low speeds, but we were able to get it up on the beach with just the two of us, and then launch it again. Afterwards, we ran into town for some groceries and had Steve and Julie from S/V ALWAYS over for appetizers. They had considered buying an Island Packet before they bought their current boat, but decided that it was not a good fit for them. We will see their catamaran a little later this afternoon.

So, we toured the Catamaran, S/V Always and had some more discussion with Steve and Julie, then they had to run as they were going to a wine tasting tour. We came back to to the boat and got ready to go to the pool. As we were walking towards the pool we decided to go check out so that we don’t have to do that in the morning. As I was paying the bill, Renee’ was sitting behind me on the couch as we had forgotten to bring our masks. We asked about an envelope and a bicycle that we were possibly supposed to deliver to La Cruz. Well someone else had taken the envelope and the lady behind the desk called about the bike and eventually found out that it is staying here and the lady who was going to get it in La Cruz is going to wait until she gets down here. In any case as the time was dragging out in walks a lady who Renee’ recognized as Elisabeth, the lady we met on Isal Isabela who is the connection to Victoria, the previous owner. It turns out that they are here for a couple of days, Elisabeth is surveying boats, and Victoria is basically along for the ride. We walked up to the pool with Elisabeth and met Victoria and spent the next hour or two chatting about the boat and the sailing in the Sea of Cortez. At the end of the day we invited them to come down and see the boat. After a short tour they left and we got dinner going.

We will connect with Victoria and get some more “stuff” she wants to clean out of her storage unit. We will also look at her folding bicycles and see if we want to make an offer on them.
