I’m am very much looking forward to heading back out to sea tomorrow.
A ship in harbor is safe — but that is not what ships are built for. — John Augustus Shedd
The energy in this place has felt unsettled to me since we arrived, both that of the residents and the cruisers who visit here. I’ve wondered about that and suspect it’s the place. Just the way it feels to me. Mazatlán has been good to us and for that I am deeply grateful. At the same time I yearn for the peace and tranquility of the ocean. A sailboat and her crew, by their very nature, are the epitome of tranquillity. They move by balancing the forces of nature in order to resolve a favorable condition that brings them safely and quietly to new places.
We've been saying our fond good-byes to all the wonderful people we've met and critters too. There were doce gatos de muelle dulce (sweet dock cats) living on our dock.
A dios gatos, ve con Dios!
As Doug Adams wrote; So long (Mazatlán) and thanks for all the fish.
