We started the New Year well with a 4 hr hike to the top of
the canyon with our friends Theo and Marion aboard s/v Marionetto. It was
climbing up and down, going though narrow passages, making your own trail, and avoiding cacti. Tessa hiked and enjoyed it too, especially when she
got to hold hands with our friends. Thanks to Marion we had yummie oliebollen at the top of the canyon during our break.

Although our Italian cruising buddies on s/v Kiribati won’t be able
to join us for this season, we had fun celebrating Christmas and New Years with
them, while they visited and worked on their boat here.

The Bliss crew is getting geared up to move south again, and
see warmer weather on Saturday. Betsy is tucked away in the same boat yard
where Bliss was stored. Everything down below is stored away, food will be
baked for several days (as cooking under way is not our idea of fun). We have
not decided if we swallow the 400 miles to Mazatlan in one scoop (at least 80
hrs trip), or divide it in half and stop in Topolobampo. The sea state and our
own mental & physical state will let us know what choice we make.
Happy and Healthy 2016 from the Bliss crew!
