Domestic bliss

Puerto Escondido, BCS, Mexico

The days here in Puerto Escondido are starting to follow a pattern of sorts.

In the morning, after a very calm night, we wake up to a perfectly clear blue sky.  The temperature is already in the high 20s and quickly builds to the low 30s.  In the late afternoon the heat rising over the land starts to create some towering fluffy-looking cloud formations, which sometimes turn darker and we can hear distant thunder, although no rain as yet.  The winds have been very light, usually from the east or southeast, not amounting to anything much.  Although the humidity is only around 50 or 60 percent, it still feels pretty humid to us and we spend a large part of our day just sitting in the cockpit or down below with a fan pointed at us, reading and slowly melting.  We can't really go swimming here in the polluted waters of the mooring field so that is not an option.

Laundry day got delayed by a day (we just didn't feel like it).  Last night we got down to work and defrosted the refrigerator and today did the laundry, washed up the dishes that have been accumulating and restocked our Diet Coke supply (The little store right at the marina actually has flats of 24 cans of a variety of pop and beer - definitely catering to the gringos in the harbour).  Tonight we are going to walk to the little resort hotel again for supper.

We paid for one extra day on the mooring and are now ready to set sail tomorrow.  I guess I should check and see if the engine still works...
