Catching up

I am way behind on the blog but that could only mean one thing, we have been out having too much fun! After our stay at the Grand Bay we returned to Tenacatita for another week of bocci ball and walks on the beach. There was actually more involved than just having fun but we will get to that later.

We finally were able to anchor next to our good friends Orlando and Linda on Cuba Libre 3. They began cruising a year before us and although we would often end up in the same anchorage it was usually at opposit ends of the bay. We had met Orlando and Linda back when we both owned Catalina 320s and they came up to a rondevous on the San Francisco Bay and as they say, the rest is history.

Linda introduced me to the daily swim to the beach from our boats in Tenacatita. We kept this up for the better part of a week until we realized that the water temp had dropped to below 70 degrees. That is our minimum acceptable temperature so we switched to the kayacks. If you can't be in the water at least you can be on top. Laurie Ailworth drove down to Tenacatita with her husband Jay who proceeded to chronicle the visit with some fabulous photos. Everything that follows was shot by Jay including the race pictures. You may remember the photographs we posted from last years Banderas Bay Regatta, Jay took all of those too. He has an amazing eye.

I have decided on a slight change of plans. I am going to do an entire blog of just Jay's photos taken during his stay on Di's Dream. So I am off to the beach for a bit of inspiration.
