Boca Chica and Ensenada Gamez

From Boca Chica we took a day trip into the closest large city, David. This was quite an experience, as always. Carol and I got haircuts for $2 and, I'm sad to say, they looked exactly like the price we were charged!! We're still trying to grow them out. We both gave instructions to two different girls, but came out looking very similar. This is difficult to do as Carol has very curly hair and I do not! Enough said.
These are all our groceries, in the dark, on the bow of that panga taking us back to Fortuitous and Nuage. There's our laundry too. I was somewhat miffed as the kid driving the panga had 2 young girls with him and was far more interested in them than getting our laundry back to our boat in a clean dry state. Again, enough said!!!
Dave sits back and enjoys the ride back to the boat. The fun doesn't end as we get all this stuff aboard, then we have to put it all away somewhere. This, for me, is usually a 2 day job as wherever I used to store something is usually now a home for something else. So, the old something has to be moved, in order to accommodate the new something. And on it goes.
And yet another pelican wants to call Fortuitous home.

This shows the water temperature at 41. Shortly after this, the thing went on the fritz so we're not sure that was correct. In fact, it probably wasn't because it didn't feel that hot, but was quite comfortable.
