Santa Rosalia
As usual time passes and the summer is here, Sophie has settled into boating really well. She loves beaches and swimming, and afternoons laying on the deck in the shade. The extra walking has been great for me, I am not personally motivated to take long walks but with Sophie looking like she wants a walk, she practically brings me her leash, we have been able to see more beaches. We have started to take her snorkelling, and only had one minor mishap. We anchored the dinghy, Gary swam away, and I was a bit behind, so right after I slid into the water, Sophie decided she didn't want to be left behind, so she leapt right on top of me. OUCH! She gets lots of exercise while we snorkel because she keeps trying to round us up together, so she is back and forth a lot. Someone suggested we should get her some goggles, wouldn't that be just sooooo cute.
This week we are in Santa Rosalia, getting the boat put away for the summer while we head up to Canada to see the kids and grandkids, and go to work for a few months. Also will get us out of the heat for awhile. And the extra sheckles will definitely help as we are planning on making the leap to the south pacific next spring. The more we get ready the more we find that there is stuff we need to have, and marine stores haven't reduced their prices yet! And would you believe, our radar has just given up the ghost. Gary is hoping that it is fixable, and we shall see.......
Just finishing this up, because we have made a few changes since I started this. Sophie is not longer a member of our family, and I miss her a lot, but we have found that a dog will just not fit into our plans at this time, so Cathy found her a terrific home in Cold Lake, and hopefully we will get to see her when we are up there. Off shore sailing is not a place to take a dog, the rules of other countries can really make life for the dog really restrictive. In most of the tropics they can't get off the boat, and in some they are in quarantine, and Sophie wouldn't like that at all, she loved to explore on the beaches.
