Since Miller left, I've been working on the boat. Not hard, just a little each day. When I'm not working on the boat, I've been snorkeling a lot and reading (yes, actually reading!). I just went clamming today with 2 girls from England, they're extremely nice and are sort of stranded here.
They were crewing on a sailboat and unfortunately, the owner's cancer caught up w/ him and he needed to go home for treatment. Abbie and Jackie have been "stranded" (and I use that word loosely) here in La Paz for 6 months. Today we went to Ballandra and clammed. We got about 100, with Dan grabbing 6 of them The beach out there was pretty cool, they're building a set to Adam Sandler's upcoming movie. It looks pretty funny...a castle/mansion from the front, a piece of plywood and some 2x4's from behind. Regardless, tonight we're having clams!
Danny, from Pacific Threadz showed up today and grabbed the main sail. We'll see what he ends up charging for fixing the tear. The last fix (for now) to be completed is on the pedestal. Can't find the part, the company is out of business (of course) so I'm going to have a steel fabricator make a new one. It's critical so I want to make it bomb-proof if you know what I mean.
Once I have all the repairs done, Abbie, Jackie and I are going to take off to the islands for a few days. I'm anxious to get back out there and not ready to do it solo yet. This week, Halloween! Next week, the "Day of the Dead"....the Mexican version of the same holiday. Should be trouble......
