Zaandam Mexican adventure, Pichilingue(La Paz), Mexico...

Today was a beautiful day in Pichilingue, Mexico…  Per my plan, I stayed onboard to help the healing…  It was just a perfect day weatherwise…  Unfortunately, we just had an announcement from the captain that our port tomorrow, Loreto Mexico had to be cancelled due to weather conditions…  unsafe for tender operations.  Pity, I was actually going to give it a go…  We will arrive into our next port of call, Puerto Vallarta a day early, arriving Monday afternoon and staying overnight.  It’s all good!

Zaandam Mexican adventure, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico...

Cabo San Lucas, with its stunning beaches and azure waters framed by rugged cliffs, offers a picturesque paradise that captivates all who visit…  Today was a bit different than I have experienced in the past.  The winds were just howling with ugly seas…  It was also, very chilly, temps in the 50s with a wind chill much lower.  I gave us about a zero percent chance of conducting tender operations for the shoreside visits.  Luckily, as we turned into Cabo, the winds died down, the seas calmed and it warmed up…  just fabulous!  I planned to stay onboard again to tend to my sciatica problem.  Making slow process…  Anyway, the day was beautiful, sunny, warm with a gentle breeze.  I was just loving the sunshine; it’s been a few days since I last felt the warmth of the sun.
