This blog is a handy way of letting family and friends know where we are and what we are doing while aboard our sailboat. Luckily we can send messages via a slow radio transmission. The first post is from California, as we work and get ready to return to Damiana.

Rain!
Rain was predicted for today, even thundershowers. During our morning walk to the lighthouse the sky was cloudy, the temperature a little cooler than yesterday, but we weren't convinced that we'd have a lot of rain. Miguel, who has been polishing Damiana came by around 9 a.m. to continue his job, went to the tienda to get a bottle of water, got back to the boat and, oops, the first drop of rain. He left, hoping to return tomorrow. And here we are, 5 p.m. and it's still raining, no thundershowers yet, but a very dark cloud looms overhead. What to do on a rainy day? Read a book, peruse the internet (Roy) bake some brownies, set up bread dough for baking tomorrow. That, plus listening to soft jazz -- a nice quiet day "at home" on Damiana.
