Happy Birthday Mom!!

"Blog" <svoasisgoessouth.goingtosd@blogger.com>Today is my Mom's birthday!!!! We sent her some flowers and gave her a call on the sat. phone. She'd probably kill me if I told you how old she is - so I won't!!! We left Chacala this morning and came up a whopping 20 miles to Mantanchen Bay. There is only one other boat in this huge bay!!! One of the special things about this area is the great homemade banana and pineapple bread. You can get a fresh loaf for $2.00 each - and boy are they fantastic!!
Tomorrow we are going to take the Jungle River trip - apparently you go up a river in a panga for about an hour, look for crocodiles, then you arrive at a safe secluded swimming hole - then back down the river. We'll let you know how it all goes. We'll leave here on Thursday afternoon and head to Mazatlan. It should take us about 20 hours. We will anchor in the old harbor there when we arrive.

Our current position is: 21 degrees 31.07'N; 105 degrees 14.45' W

Happy Birthday Mom - Love You!!!
