Two weeks to go

We have less than 2 weeks before we head off to French polenysia in the South Pacific. Dorothy just left for Toronto, and I am doing some boat chores and a couple of small changes in the boat. Several people in the marina here have already left and a few more over the next few days are headed to French Poly.
Most of the time we get around the PV area by riding the buses which run frequent and are cheap. The main buses into PV often have someone come on board who entertains the passengers by singing and playing music or sometimes someone in a clowns outfit comes and tells funny things, I guess as we don't understand spanish but see other passengers laughing. Then off course they walk down the bus trying to collect a peso or two of each passenger.
The drivers are very fast and aggressive, you have to be careful going to your seat or you will go flying. They come to jerky stops and full acceleration from the bus stop.
I went to a food provisioning seminar last night one of the cruisers put on. Got a few tips on what foods last the longest and info like that. Those doing the 3000 mile jump to French Poly are doing what is called the Puddle Jump and there is a Yahoo groups website for the puddle jumpers with lots of good info and downloads, and here at La Cruz they have pot lucks and seminars for the Puddle Jumpers. This is the safest time of year to do the puddle jump, Mar and April to avoid the hurricanes up here and the cyclones down south.
They are having a big boat show here at the Marina and have spruced up the area for it and done a lot of work getting ready for it. Today is the last day of it. It is not nearly as good as our boat shows back home. Us marina tenants have to where arm bands to get in and out of town to our boat until the boat show is over.
