¡Hasta luego La Cruz!

We're just now closing up the ports and hatches and doing all the last-minute buttoning up required before putting out to sea. It seems like ages--heck, it has been ages since we last cruised to a new port of call! We can hardly wait.

The boys had a special visitor this afternoon. The lady who runs the business center came by to give the boys farewell gifts! She gave them puzzles and games to keep them entertained on our passage. She's really been wonderful, chatting with the boys while they've studied in the yacht club.

It's strange to have grown so attached to a place that isn't really home. There are so many people here in La Cruz that we'll miss. Still, we're very eager to put out to sea once more and feel that peculiar brand of freedom that cruising on the ocean brings.
