We had a fun 4th of July weekend with our drop zone friends. We woke up Monday morning, and I turned on the news. The first story was a 7.0 earthquake in Tapachula!!! Karin was already at work, and I was on my way. All I could hope for, was that being in the water may have helped save the boat.
Thinking about all the boats in the yard, on stands; oh no! Fortunately, Karin sent an e-mail to Enrique, and he responded quickly, saying everything was fine at the marina. Whew! I don't know how much damage the town suffered, but we heard from Arturo of McCaw Tours, and they were fine as well.
We are still sorting out what we need to bring with us when we head back to the boat. Karin is back in the research mode; checking forums and blogs to find useful information for us. Otherwise, we're looking forward to Flyin Sideways again!
On a whim, and with the help of our friend George, we flew stand by to N.J. for my birthday! The reason for the trip was to see my brother, Rich, and his family; Patti, Ryan and Kristen.
I also got to explore my old neighborhoods with Karin. I think she enjoyed hearing some of my childhood adventures, and seeing where I grew up.

All you can eat sushi for the birthday dinner!
The Asbury Park boardwalk.
The famous Stone Pony, where Bruce Springstein got his start.
It was a great trip! Now, it's back to work, and getting ready to go!
