Info about photos:The first couple of pictures are from the hike I took with Lauren, Gata, and Isaac [on Isla Meanguera]. They show the town we were closest to and the interior island. The last pictures are from Puesta del Sol, Nicaragua. The first is of David heading out with Gary for yesterday morning's surf session, next is Serg on Kolea and Sidewinder tucked into the slip at the marina, and the last pictures are of the re-supply venture into town about an hour away and our broken fan belt. The van adventure included Rick, Bob and Norman, Barbara, and Serg. Life is good and it is nice to have time to spend with other interesting people. We are definitely fortunate!
Sunday's e-mail: We are still at the dock and are planning to move today out to a mooring for the last few days here at Puesta del Sol. David went surfing yesterday, but did not catch many waves; it was good for him to be in the surf at least. We are planning to go out in a little while; we need to go with Gary, another cruiser who is on this dock, because he has a 15 hr. powered engine on his dinghy which is needed to power out to the point break here. We have walked up the beach to the surf camp and the beach break also looks good.
This place definitely is fancy and way too expensive [Google "Puesta del Sol, Nicaragua" to check it out], but we, again, are managing to have fun with Serg, Katie, Rick on Evenstar, and some cruisers who are heading back to Mendicino on the boat, Zephyr. The captain, Bob Wilson, is a great guy and I told him about the possibility that Tom and Paula may be moving up there for a while. He and his wife have a wonderful house on the river and he made it sound like a terrific place to settle for a while. Another crew member on that boat is from Telluride (actually, Norwood) and knows Cindy and Mick really well. His nickname is Stretch, and I know I met him in Telluride when we were there sometime in the past. I will email Cindy and let her know. I think I also met Bob, the captain, in Lahaina, Maui in the early 70's when he was David Crosby's manager (Crosby, Stills, Nash). PHEW! Strange life!
I am next going to download my newest pix from yesterday's journey into town for reprovisioning, but I think they might be pretty boring. The van fan belt broke on the way home, and it took us hours to get back. The weather has been a bit gray, and so the pictures of the marina may be a bit dull as well. Casey turned 30 today, and we just sent him an email full of warm wishes; again, where does the time go? Love, Suz
