For those who know me, and many of you do, you will understand when I say that operating without a schedule is tough.  There is a “weather system” moving in tomorrow, so we decided to hunker down here instead of motorsailing on to LaPaz.  Being a bit conservative with bad weather (in this case bad weather is just 20 kt. wind on our nose…nothing worse) we collectively decided to stay here for three days rather than to spend 24 hours on moderately rough water.  That was pretty disruptive to our “schedule” to get to LaPaz tomorrow.  But wait a minute. Why even have a “schedule” when you have a a couple months to see what Mexico has to show? So today Brenda and I cleaned the boat, washed the sails and topsides, organized a bunch of gear, drank some beer and checked email.  Schedule? What schedule? Tomorrow we may walk to town, or walk the beach, or just work on learning Spanish (badly needed.)

At any rate, slowly.. ever so slowly… I’m becoming content with living in the now.. and not in the future. (Focus and future being two of my top 5 Strengthfinders strengths. Oh yeah, along with being Mr. Maximizer. Poor Jeff and Nancy. )

It’s not as easy as it sounds. At least for me…
