Santa Rosalia

Well, we are still in Santa Rosalia, about halfway up the inside of the Baja peninsula. Our refrigeration gave up the ghost (after about 25 years), so we'll order a new unit and pick it up in the US next week. Susan had planned to attend her niece's wedding in Colorado anyway, so the timing works out well.

Hopefully we'll be on our way north in two weeks. We try not to let things slow us down, but we couldn't go without refrigeration in the Sea of Cortez, especially in the summer.

The heat is bearable, but we just can't be out in the sun too much. We just sweat so much, and it doesn't take much activity to be drenched! There is a pool here, and that helps a lot, since we can't swim in the harbor. We also have dock power, so ALL of the fans are running most of the day. At anchor, we would be typically 5-10 degrees cooler, so we're looking forward to that.

We have a few projects, but only the ones that are critical or help us deal with the heat are getting done. It's just too hot. The rest of August and most of September will be the hottest times, so we have less than 8 weeks left of heat!

We hope that this post finds you well and happy and enjoying the summer, wherever you happen to be. Even with the heat, we are.

All the Best,
Susan & Jim
