The marina community

These lovely gentlemen keep the marian going:  Juan, the harbormaster, in organge shirt is  a calm, easygoing person who puts up with a lot.  This year the marina was full, and friends of our's had to anchor out in La Cruz, which isn't such hard duty, however we couldn't see them.  He has to deal with complaints, keeping the port captain happy, and shuffling boats around to keep the cruisers happy.  Mexican law has him stuck to his desk  90% of the time due to mounds of paperwork.  We will miss him.  The two shorter fellows are called "The Panchos" , yet one is Francisco ( we have yet to figure out which) and they can fix, fabricate, make, create anything that is need to keep this marina going. easygoing and very sweet people, all of them.

Pedro and Cooper having a love fest on board.  Pedro's wife is due any day now, his seventh with Rosa.

Tom and Emily from Girl Four and us at our favorite little restaurant.  They left for a trip to Barra and came back for just a few days, and now are off to head north.  We have met them in Cabo San Jose and here in Nuevo and figured out that they really were not in the witness protection program as they have a daughter in Santa Monica they will visit this summer.  We get to see them, too - fun for us.  The problem with cruisng communities is they are so fluid and it is bittesweet when we all sail off.  This time, we get to see T & E in Calif., unless of course they are hiding out somewhere.
