Gypsywind spends the summer in Mazatlan

well the last few weeks have been stable we are tied to the dock and enjoying the poolside living closely with the other boaters and checking out Mazatlan, Our Dear friends from Stepping Stone and Tynamarra came to visit us the other day. they are anchored off Stoney Island and when anchoring and you know someone in the marina you need to visit if you know what i mean, poolside, resort, SHOWERS and lots of fun, So much fun they stayed the night, all on Gypsywind (4 in the aft cabin,3 in the salon, 3 in the V-berth, 3 on deck somewhere, stepping stone and Tynamarra  and journey (Craig who grew up in Castlegar) are leaving tommorow to cross the sea to Muertos where  we all solidified our friendships in the very beginning and journey will point  up farther north.  it's kind of hard not to be going with them, But

Mazatlan, and the marina El Cid has been good to us, so good we have decided to rest here, and rest for awhile.... Gypsywind  will stay here for the summer and we the family will be traveling home, Home......

so many hugs and tears , its funny how close and how intimite the cruisers become family and we endour together we shop groceries together, we do laundry together,and hunt for showers, and help each other,

The endless possabilities lay forward, we were to return to the sea and enjoy a few more months but it is already May, and who knows what we may conjure up later but from here there are many options and its time, and with great excitement we come home to family friends and dear ones we miss so much.
 We said our good byes and a new journey begins
