In La Paz getting ready

We are in La Paz getting the boat ready to head off to the Marquesas. Departure planned for 14^th Feb. Lots of small boat jobs that I had put off until I couldn't any longer.

Chainplates

Rig check

Reinforcement for inner forestay

Kid Life

 Two kids in dinghy

 Four boys in a dinghy

Swiss kids. (Though most people down here think they are some kind of First Aiders!)

Christmas with my sister

My sister Izi joined us for Christmas and we had a lovely time with her. Sadly failed to catch any nice fish which just reinforces my lack of ability.

We had caught a nice Dorado immediately before she came though

Trying to catch up the blog - December

We hauled the boat in Perto Escondido, fixed a rudder bearing problem and painted the bottom.

All went very smoothly thanks to Alvin.
