Were here! Who's this Jova guy everyones talking about?

We arrived in Mazatlan Saturday about noon. What a difference having an air conditioned car makes. At the end of a long days drive your just board, not board, wind burned and covered with dust. Slacker looks fine after her long summer nap. An extremely rainy summer meant a bit more mold but other than that all is as we left it.

On Sunday one of the dock workers came over and asks if we had heard anything new about the hurricane. "Oh, that was a week ago and it never came anywhere close to here'" then I replied " No the one that will be here on Thursday" he said. "Well, we haven’t turned a computer on since Wednesday" so SURPRISE!


Hurricane Jova should be arriving in Manzanillo which is about 300 miles south of here tonight. It is suppose to cross move inland but following the coast north. As it moves inland across the mountains it should loose much of its strength. We don’t expect much more than 50 knots of wind but should get a lot of rain out of it.  The guys at Rick's Marine Services and Tony's boat watching are running around taking down awnings and checking lines along with the few boat owners here.  So far so good.  We are getting the boat back to livable condition, with a minor hurricane delaying some things for a couple of days.
