Return to La Paz for 2012 Cruise

 We returned to La Paz in mid February, just in time for the Mardi Gras Carnival, which lasted 5 days, with the children's parade on the last day.  We did not get close enough to get good photos of the floats and the parade, but there was a carnival atmosphere (with lots of loud music)rides, and the Mexican version of Carnival junk food.  We spent the next couple of days putting the sails back on
 checking all the systems, taking the pickling chemicals out of the watermaker, and starting the engine, genset, refrigerator, freezer, airconditioners fore and aft, and everything worked fine!  We hung out in La Paz and at Costa Baja, kayaking around the area and relaxing at the Beach Club where Linda made a new friend, Fernanda.  We celebrated her pregnancy with a mini baby shower at t
 restaurant where her fiancee works as the manager.  We reaquainted ourselves with La Paz (we were only here for a short time in May of last year) and prepared to host Cat and her two kids, Cooper and Parker.  I put the new Honda 2 horse outboard on the dingy so Cooper and Parker could buzz around.  The 15 horse would be a little too much for begining sailors
