7 weeks later.........

Chillin at the hospital

Well, it sure went slow, but I'm about 84.273% back to normal. In two weeks I'm flying home for the summer. It was a really slow recovery. I read about 20 books, watched a bunch of videos and went stir crazy. Actually the past few weeks I've been venturing out mornings for the coffee social at Calypso's.

Now  that I'm feeling well enough to have some fun in Mazatlan before I fly home. I have hired an Englishman (Tony) to look after Godzilla while I'm away. He currently has about 55 clients here in Marina Mazatlan, so I feel confident she'll be well taken care of in my absence.

We are comming into rainy season, and that meens tropical storms and hurricanes. I'll be taking most everything off the deck including the dingy and motor, bimini top , canvas dodgers and anything else that can be blown off by high winds. WHen a storm is imminent, Tony's crew doubles everyones dock lines, check fenders, etc. He also comes aboard monthly to run engines, air conditioners, check bilges, etc.

I had planned to haul the boat while I was gone, but I haven't heard a peep from my insurance company about paying my hospital bill, so that may have to wait till fall.

Dinner at a sidewalk cafe

Update 6-8-11....I took some pictures of Old Mazatlan on my last excursion into town and will post them here. Not sure how long I'll be home this summer, but I plan to write about whats going on there after I get settled in there....Also, the first hurricane of the season is on it's way. I can;t think of a better time to head north, LOL

Old Mazatlan

Tony and Mary @ Pedro & Lola's

Old Mazatlan has a colonial feel. Much of it is from the 19th century. The streets are clean and there are lots of sidewalk cafes where, on weekends, live music of all types is playing.
