Flat water, unlimited electricity, daily showers, (decent) internet, reckless disregard for the weather?! That's right, marina living!

Just a quick update to let you know we are happily ensconced in Marina La Cruz, which is without a doubt the most luxurious place we have been our whole time cruising. Also the current home of many of the boats prepping for this years Pacific crossing, which makes it a pretty interesting place to meet people.

One of the more interesting things I've seen in a while is a 35lb CQR whose shank was bent into a banana shape during the brief put powerful 'wind event' here several weeks ago. For those who aren't familiar with the anchors, we're talking an approximately 3" x 1" thick piece of forged steel, bent into a curve!

We are taking the opportunity to work on boat projects and see friends before we come back to the states for a whirlwind west coast visit in March (confirmed stops include Seattle, San Francisco, and Santa Barbara, hopefully more coming soon!).
