Adios Chamela, Hola Tenacatita

Last night we joined several other cruisers on SV Frannie B to celebrate Ned's birthday.  He was born on Valentine's Day, as was his son!   Chocolate cupcakes, tea and lots of good conversation -- ahhh, the cruising lifestyle!  This morning, after the morning net, we weighed anchor and after a pleasant 10 day stay we left Bahia de Chamela.   For most of the day we motor sailed, but around 1 or so we had enough wind to sail and we sailed right into the anchorage at Tenacatita.  So far we've connected with four other boats we've been buddying with so the season looks promising re: social life!

No sooner did we drop anchor that I took the last bit of dough out of our 4-loaf bowl and got it ready to bake.  This reminds me to let all of our readers know that our book, "Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day," given to us by Roy's colleague before we left Santa Maria, has enabled several other cruisers to bake break every day.  In fact one of the boats has already left Mexico, bound for the Galapagos and Tahiti with recipes for daily bread baking.  Another cruiser, after tasting some of our Peasant Bread, ordered the book and it now resides on her Kindle.

I also put together a pint of hummus, flavored with chipotle, mmmmmm.  We'll take that to the cruiser raft-up on Friday night here in Tenacatita.

Both of us have finished reading "My Song, a Memoir by Harry Belafonte" and heartily recommend it as a "good read."
