Tue Mar 31 2020 20:52:00 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time) Yesterday we motored from La Cruz de Huanacaxtle to Punta de Mita. We lounged at the La Cruz anchorage (yes, that’s a bit of sarcasm) from Dec 13, 2019 (yes, that was a Friday) until March 30, 2020. That is quite a stretch of time. During …

We’ve been underway or anchored for a long time, so it feels pretty strange to be docked for the first time in four months. We’re here just long enough to do some work that requires a dock, like welding, then we’re back at anchor waiting to cross the Pacific.
