I'm writing this a month later, back in Salt lake city. It's 17 degrees outside, snow is on the ground, and we are heading off this morning for Arizona and Baja. We enjoyed our little jaunt to San Carlos a lot. I took the dogs for daily long walks on the beach, and came home with a bagful of perfect seashells for my son Ted's aquarium and an even bigger (and heavier!) bag full of rocks for my other son Chris's aquarium, which covers almost an entire wall of his living room. They were both pretty excited when they opened them up Christmas morning.
The ketch we went to look at was a disaster. Even Steve was nonplussed at how run down it was and how much work and money it would need to get it into any kind of shape to sail. Pretty much everything in it was either broken, torn, dirty, or worn out. Steve figured it would take another $10,000 and several months of intensive labor to get it, well, shipshape. Neither of us were interested in that. Still, it was fun to be in Mexico again, and the trip made us eager to go back to Baja and hang out on the beach. We'll be doing that for the month of February, so stay tuned.
