Our cruising season ends :-(

According to plan, we expect to leave La Paz tomorrow around noon and drive to Loreto, the first leg on our long drive home.  We have spent the last 10 days doing boat projects, getting Damiana put to "bed" for 7.5 months, and even found some time to visit with friends.  A big plus to staying at Costa Baja Marina is the chance to go swimming in their "endless pool," a gorgeous large pool that looks as though it's continuous with the Sea when seen from the beach chairs.  A last minute project, getting the front panel on the refrigerator repaired, got underway today by Pedro, the carpenter.  He'll finish up tomorrow (due here at 8 a.m.)  We are almost all packed and will do the last minute packing while Pedro finishes up.  Tonight, our good friend, Alex (Maitairoa) took us out to dinner as our final send-off for the season (Sue is stateside).  It is with heavy heart that we leave this year.  We have more than ever become quite attached to life here in Baja California, especially the islands, and, of course, La Paz, which has been our favorite for years.

We'll resume the Damiana Blog upon our return in January, 2014.
