Russ tore the boat apart and installed all parts The engine is running about 10 degrees hotter than he would like So now he is off to get antifreeze With antifreeze in the engine still runs a little hot.

It is now Dec 17th and our 10 day stay has been great We have met new friends and shopped a lot I am taking back up beading I am in the process of learning how to make beaded barrettes thanks to Diana.

Phyllis (Apolima) and I made trips to Walmart, Soriana, City Club We even drove over to Cabo San Lucas to pick up her husband Gary It was an early morning departure for the 2-3 hour drive We drove through Todos Santos which looked like a cute little town and arrived in Cabo San Lucas with enough time to go to Soriana and Costco before picking Gary up.

It's good to see Gary again We had great conversation on the drive back It was dinner time by the time we arrived in La Paz and we called Russ to come up and join us for dinner We ate at "Chilpitino" (not sure of the spelling) the wings place just below Papa's and Beer restaurant.

They have great wings The last day here I spent the morning with Diana learning how to do the barrettes and then went to the SASS (Sister Acquiring Sea Skills) meeting where about 15 or more women showed up and the topic was "Any question or concern you may have".

The major concern express was "What would you do if something happened to your husband and are you capable of getting the boat to port" This is always a topic up for discussion among women sailors The answer is: TO BE CROSSED TRAIN AND TO PRACTICE..
