Mazaatlan coming up

We will be leaving the marina here tomorow or the next day and anchor out in the bay and then leave Saturday to head down to Los Muertos for the first night and then Los Frailes next and then head across to Mazatlan all depending on the weather forcasts we get over the next couple of days. It is about 160 miles across to Mazatlan from Los Frailes so entailes one night at sea.
I went up the mast 2 days ago and found that one of our lower shrouds had a broken strand so had to replace it. Spent some time finding a rigger who had the parts and wire I needed and could swage on some new ends. I then went up the mast to replace the wire and then readjusted all the turnbuckles for the lowers.
Our raymarine charlplotter display has also failed, so we will be sailing without radar and using the handheld gps for a while and paper charts. When Dorothy flys back to toronto we hope to get another one. I like the old saying that sailing is fixing boats in exotic locations.
We got our propane tank filled at the marina, they have a pickup ounce a week to fill customers bottles. We find that one tank lasts close to two months, and we have 2 tanks although have not touch the second one yet. We have been getting quite a bit of cycling in every day doing our errands as this marina is two or three miles from the center of things, and there is a nice paved walkway to cycle along the waterfront to get into town. Going out and about doing errands is not really a chore as it is really a holiday as we are seeing new things exploring the town seeing the locals and local attractions as we go about finding our grocery stores etc.
Not sure when we will get internet next when we leave here, could be a week or two before next update, although sometimes can get a connection at Los Muertos.
