FIVE DAYS IN MEXICO 8/25 TO 8/30 2020 My friend Sarina made plans to dive in Cabo Pulmo, Mexico, in August 2020. She invited me to join her. How could I resist? We both love to travel. Our second love is scuba diving. 2020 was the year of the Covid pandemic; travel for pleasure was discouraged. Although I was nervous about traveling, I was excited about the dive trip. My family was worried about me picking up Covid while traveling. I promised to quarantine for three weeks when I returned, by camping in the mountains. I could hardly wait to travel and do some diving again. In January 2020, I had surgery on the meniscus in my left knee, just before the lockdowns started. I was lucky. By late March, hospitals were full of Covid cases, ... read more

Feb 14, 2020 – Mar 07, 2020 We left home just after lunch on Friday February 14, 2020. Our truck with our 35 square foot casa on the back is packed with the essentials we will require, and then some, for the next 75 or so days. First stop is Calgary where we went out for a nice Valentine’s Day supper and spent the night with friends. We hit the road early and made it to the US border by around noon on Feb 15th and crossed with no issues or holdups. We made our way quickly through the US spending the first night in a hotel in Dillon, Montana, the second night we got a hotel in Beaver, Utah. The next day we made it to Yuma, Arizona and stayed in our tiny casa in ... read more

Hello from Cozumel. Today is our last port-of call for this cruise, until we return to Florida on Sunday. We had some bumpy patches during the night because there was a cold front that went through and that made some strong winds. This has really been our only stretch of less than perfect sailing weather. The high today was only supposed to get into the low 70s, but the locals felt we had great weather that wasn’t as hot as usual. We did not actually arrive in Cozumel until 10:00 so it was a perfect opportunity to do a small load of laundry in they morning, just to restock our unmentionables for the rest of the vacation. Janet had a good idea because the laundromat was empty when we got there but would probably be pretty ... read more
