I think I finally rinsed out the last bit of dirt from Marina Seca Guaymas. I now feel like I am back in cruising mode. Tan is strong enough to handle hours of the sun (which I never do), hair is longer, I do not wear shoes for half the trips to shore. I take naps and go swimming. That is about it.
I have not made a decision of what I am going to do from here. I tried selling the boat but no offers. I even tried looking for crew to take the edge off of single handling but nothing there. Well, regardless of what decision I make, I am most likely going to leave Melaque next week. And that means Mexico as well. I have ideas of what I might do and there are some fantastic ones. The great thing is that the boat moves so slowly, I could be out a week and still change my mind and course...
Look for another post but it should be my last from Mexico, unless something unexpected happens.

Hey salty. Looked at ads for yur boat. A bit far from home for me and didnt wanna spend that much. Got a35 hull # 140 in Sausalito last april for 8500$. Times are tough there for builders as i gather you are aware. Poor guy ground, dried faired and epoxied the hull and stuff but needed money for rent. I will do what i can to make her seawothy. Handled 25-30 in san Pablo bay then sailed to vallejo. Got q tow to Napa for dry storage while i work in Illinois. Gonna hang in the delta this summer and fix things.
Have you considered ending your voyage with Pelican in the Pacific Northwest, where it began? There is a huge market for boats like Pelican here.
I had not realized the boat market in the Pacific Northwest was any different than California... I figured anyone up there would just drive down and pick something up. That coast is not impossible to sail up.
