To say we are feeling ambivalent right now, would be understating the problem. When we woke up on May 22nd and had three new emails from people who were interested in seeing our boat, we couldn't wait to get out of La Paz! There was no way we were going to sell Just a Minute before we even had a chance for one last Sea of Cortez blast. We fired off three emails, sending along the info they requested and told them we were leaving! We've been up in the Sea without internet ever since. It seems that selling our boat maybe isn't the priority it should be! It felt illicit to be leaving - so irresponsible - so FUN. Like everyone knows, there's no fruit like forbidden fruit and even though we own the boat, it still felt like we were hot-wiring her and taking her "for a ride!"
Being on the lam has been a lot of fun. The weather is getting hotter (80 - 90's), the water is warming up (about 72 degrees), the visibility is about 20-25 feet. Life is good. We've added a couple new anchorages to our list of ones we visited. It's amazing that after four years of seeking out new places, we still haven't seen it all. Shortly after heading out, we hooked up with friends Hotel California and Full Shell in Bahia Marte. Then just days ago we rendezvous-ed with Third Day and Eyoni in Agua Verde. Today we stopped in Candeleros to pick up Internet at the new resort here and tomorrow with business taken care of, we head out to Isla Montserrat. Below are pictures of some of our adventures in the last couple weeks.

| First fish of 2012 - Jack nailed a 10 pound barred pargo in Bahia San Marte on the first spear fishing expedition of the year Patrick landed about the same size leopard grouper the following day. |

| Our very first, complete and perfect paper nautilus! Jack's eagle eye spotted it on one of our beach combing walks. These elusive "shells" are the very thin, fragile egg cases for a species of octopus. When the eggs hatch, the octopus releases the egg case. Few make it to shore whole, since they are quicklybattered to pieces by the surf. |
