Thursday (Thanksgiving) November 25, 2021, PUERTO VALLARTA/La Cruz

Today we are moving the boat over to La Cruz. We have a couple of small things to get done before we leave here, like tying the dinghy down (normally we have straps but they broke and the new ones will get sewn later today or tomorrow), put the outboard cover on, and some other odds and ends. It is about 8.3 miles from slip to slip, so between 2 and 3 hours.

We have no special plans for Thanksgiving, it is not celebrated here in Mexico (by the Mexicans) and many of the cruisers here are Canadian, and we have just not connected with any from the US that are celebrating it this year. This makes 3 years without a real Thanksgiving dinner. 2019, we were in Turtle Bay and had high winds and waves, so we did not want to get off the boat. 2020, we were in Santa Rosalia (Baja California) we arrived    late the night before. The other cruisers that were there had nothing planned. We had pie with another couple late in the day. Today we will move the boat, and have pumpkin pie later.

We tied up around 11:30. Got shore power hooked up and started washing dock lines. Reneé went to the office to finish checking in. Things to get done here, have Ivette sew the straps for the dinghy, wash dock lines, check the marking on the anchor chain and most importantly get sails

Well by the end of the day, no news about the sails, we walked over to the bathrooms and had showers. Then watched a movie Don Knots in the Reluctant Astronaut.

We think they have a problem. Eventually they got towed in.
