Day minus 3

Sailing on Warrior
Not much to report for Day 14. I spent much of the day on the computer making up the provisioning list, trying unsuccessfully to install Winlink so I can communicate at sea and successfully installing the new Adobe photo editing program LiteRoom.
Day 15 was much more interesting. I checked out of the hotel and moved onto the boat and said goodbye to hot showers and a big bed. I am now stowed in the V-berth next to the cockpit in the stern.
Kurt’s parents have been here for a few days to say bon voyage and Kurt wanted them to get a taste of sailing. Star is not ready to leave the dock so Robin of Warrior generously agreed to take them. Andy and I tagged along to keep them company. Warrior is a 50’ boat built in 1970 that Robin and Michelle purchased in Santa Cruz. Next year they will probably do the Puddle Jump. I think Robin looks like the quintessential sailor.
We sailed along the PV waterfront and then turned Northwest toward Punto Mita. At one point when we were about 3 miles offshore we were beset with a swarm of about 30 bees. How they got there was a total mystery. Andy and Frank got stung but nonetheless, Frank and Kathy Talke (Kurt’s parents) had a great time as you can see.
