Cabo San Lucas

Tuesday November 13
We went ashore and to dinner on Saturday night-the night owls that we have been - we needed sleep and were back and in bed by 7:00pm. Sunday morning we awoke to warm air and beautiful clear water. We did a few chores -got the lap top out -Patrick got the internet working and the program for skype working. This was thrilling as we could call friends and family and if they have skype installed it is free to talk and talk. After all that work-we needed a break and dove in the water and drank our cerveza-what a treat! we truly felt like we had landed in Paradise. Terry and Patrick scrubbed the bottom of the boat while Vicki talked on Skype to family and friends. After our solar showers on deck we joined Tim and Julie for wine on their boat. We then dingh=ied to town and enjoyed a wonderful fish dinner-and back to the boat. Monday was chore day-We visited the immigration department to obtain our visas-a time consuming ordeal=immigration office, banco, and port captain office. We then relaxed w ith the coldest cerveza I have ever had and salads for lunch and onto the grocery store and home to the boat. The oil was changed by Capitan Terry and Patrick and I worked on the computer -blog, pictures copied and organized. Tim and Julie visited our boat-we had burritos for dinner -Their agenda has changed due to mechanical issues with their boat engine. They will be going to La Paz and are not sure of the rest of their crusing plans. We will miss them and plan to keep in close touch as we head South.
Today Tuesday November 13 - We went snorkeling today. It was WONDERFFUL we saw many kinds of colorful fish and and eel. It was quite an experience with the many pangas and glass bottom boats visiting the area. Two cruise ships were anchored near by and the waters were full of sea doos and tourists. Our little achorage felt so much more relaxed when both cruise ships left. Tim and Julie joined us on our boat for a glass of wine and we dinghied to town for an equisite comida on Tim and Julies recommendation -and such a great place =We recommend this place to anyone visiting Cabo= PUERTO SAN LUCAS . Tim and Julie treated Terry to a band singing happy birthday. The waiters made a birthday hat shaped into a viking hat (made of foil) We all sang happy birthday-see attached photo. We all agreed that this was truly a memorable evening. The owner of the restaurant was an extremely generous kind person. He toured us through the barbacue area of the restaurant and gave us a large amount of fresh Marlin fish.
