Weather blahs in Tenacatita

Well, as we've mentioned a few times before, there seems to be a stalled weather system over this part of Mexico.  Most every day we have grey cloudy skies, cool to cold temperature, some rain, with occasional sun peeks every once in a while.  There's no wind, so we're just bobbing around the anchorage with about 25 other boats.  Some of the more energetic folks are planning to play volleyball on the beach this afternoon.  In the meantime I'm sitting inside, wearing a long sleeved shirt and my feet, shod in sandals, are almost numb with being so cold.  Hey, remember -- we complained about the Caribbean being so rainy, cloudy, etc. --- and just couldn't wait to get back to sunny Mexico.  Well, it turns out that this weather system is a fluke: just doesn't happen, says everyone.  In fact, folks from Seattle are reporting that our weather is just about the same as theirs at home.  So. we'll wait it out and try to remember how nice and cool it was in Tenacatita when we're working to put the boat away in late May, in 100-degree weather.
