Broken down in paradise, Act II or III, or I’m loosing track…



If breaking down and fixing your boat in exotic places is what cruising is all about we might just be headed for the cruisers hall of fame.  Not a very coveted honor I might add but it is what it is and it’s our "is", we’ve go to deal with it.  It’s something that could easily be frustrating but then I look around and reconnect to how truly amazing this place is.  


The locals know how to chill and take things in stride.




It helps that Bev and I are pretty supportive of one another at times like this.  We’ve learned to slowdown and lean into one another when times become taxing.  










We went for a walk thing morning and took these photos.  We see seals, sea lions and otters at play every day.  As we walked along the edge of harbor this morning a hawk landed on a lamp post just 10' ahead of us and stayed there as we passed right under it.  This place is so alive with nature and the boundary between the shore and the ocean, between people and sea life and between the earth and sky is so close one can reach out touch it.



So perhaps we'll get our engine fixed today or maybe tomorrow.  Until that happens we'll continued to chill and drink in the incredible place...
