Update from Suzi

We did get our raw water pump, and David installed it this morning. After we pick up ice, we will dinghy back to Sidewinder and sail down to La Cruz marina where we can get a slip and plug into shore power for 24 hours or so, enough time to fire up the refrigeration and freezer. We heard from Richard and Virginia yesterday; they are anchored in La Cruz bay and will be here for a few more days. It will be nice to hook up with them again. We had fun with Jim after picking up the pump from the PV airport. We started happy hour in Paradise Village where Jim keeps his boat and then moved to La Cruz to a place called Philo's Pizza. We ate, danced, played pool, and enjoyed Friday night party vibes. It was fun to be introduced to La Cruz; it looks like a fun place to be for a while. You can see I'm trying to get into this delay the best I can. David flies out next Sunday and Casey is picking him up in Portland. They will drive to Coos Bay, and David's plan is to stay with mom. He's not sure how long he will stay; we will just wait and see what's happening from there.
