That's Bitchin

THATS BITCHIN BOB! and Gypsywind crew

Well it gets better, Bob Bitchin, owner of the cruising magazine " Latitudes & Attitudes" comes over with his camara man and asks for an interview, they are doing a piece on El Cid Mariana's ,they return in the morning and ask a few questions "How we like this Marina", Get us to say "We are the Chernoff family from Nelson BC, Latatitudes & Attitudes will be right back" it was short, but we invite them in for coffee (Oso Negro coffee)  and they come below, both know our boat well, Bob had a formossa 51 very simular, then a Formossa 56 ends up we were in the south Pacific at the same time in 1991.Tonga was both our favorite, his friend, owns the Moorings charter up in the Vanu atu group, well we swap lots of stories they stay for an hr, both are casual and the talk is comfortable.
 It was great, Bob Knew where Nelson was, he and his wife had two young crew members from Nelson in the South Pacific, and one came back for thier Atlantic crossing, when they got knocked down by a water spout.
Bob dropped by the latest issue of Lats & Atts, nice people, I forgot the camara guys name, what a nice guy.
 We went out for lunch to the vegaterian place for vegi burgers and on to Home Depot then Sorianas for grocreies . we came back to Gypsywind rich with food. Thats one thing about Mexico thier produce is like off the garden, The cucumbers smell like Babas greenhouse. It was Sunday,after putting away everything, this time  Kim  and I accually got into the hot Tub, a 20x30 pool, it gets cold at night here, the kids are using duvets as blanket, and the mornings are wet with dew, but the sun rises7am and it's gone by 8am it's hot in the afternoon 28c maybe

Noah keeps talking about Harrison (his friend from Whatcha gonna do) we hear they are in La Paz so he writes an E-mail asking if they plan on coming to Mazatlan soon.We  run into a few people we have meet last year but none of our dear friends.
