Leaving Puerta Vallarta

Connie and Jim are on-board, and we're getting ready to set sail for Mazatlan this afternoon. We had a nice send-off party last night with our friends Dana and Gale Crowne and their neighbor Jim Ransome. Everyone survived the party, although there isn't nearly as much tequila in PV anymore!
Jim is also our very own fishing guide, but he assures us very few fish have been harmed during his fishing expeditions. I can verify the truth of that claim after spending a day with him on his boat. Nice gear though...
Actually, there just aren't very many fish in Bandaras Bay this year. Local sport fishing boats are coming back empty, and the fault is generally attributed to colder than usual water in the Bay. Have yet to see a single dolphin or manta ray and even a lot fewer pelicans and boobies in the Bay. Have seen a couple of whales, but not nearly as many as I saw north of here earlier.
Connie's husband, Harve, is also here, but he will be flying back at 500 knots instead of the 5 knots we will likely average as we head north. Of course he won't be seeing any whales or dolphins along the way, so we aren't all that envious....
Weather is getting warmer down here, so cooler temperatures are starting to look better. Just hope we get some favorable wind over the next few days...
More when we get to Mazatlan on Thursday...
