MARINA VALLARTA

This is a nice marina surrounded by hotels, condomínia, and lots of shops and restaurants. It is a short Uber ride downtown.

TWO DAY RUN TO PUERTO VALLARTA

We spent 2 nights at sea crossing directly from Cabo to Puerto Vallarta.  We arrived in PV mid morning and had a reservation at Marina Vallarta.  We intend to stay here through Christmas and see to the installation of a new inverter, installation of our new mainsail, and repair of the forward head vacuum generator.

CABO SAN LUCAS AND INVERTER PROBLEMS

Well there is good news and bad news   After some very sweet sailing, we are in Cabo San Lucas where our additional crew members left us.  The marina here is all about sightseeing and sport fishing, and Terratima seems decidedly out of place.  We intend to head off to Puerto Vallarta near the weekend for an extended stay at least through Christmas.  

The bad news is that we fried our inverter which we use primarily to make water.  There is no way we can get a replacement here in Cabo, so we hope to have a new one installed in PV.

DEPARTURE PREP

 Our additional crew will be here tomorrow and Wednesday.  We have our paper as well as electronic charts ready to go, and we are looking to depart late in the day Thursday for an overnight run to Ensenada, Mexico to check into the country.  We then leave for Cabo San Lucas weather permitting.
