Leaving Mazatlan

Writing this in Puerto Escondido. Easter Sunday. 
We left Mazatlan days ago after spending a bunch of time and money there.  While in Mazatlan we met up with my cousin Tim and his wife, Jackie along with her sister Jamie and her husband Chuck. Gail the mom of Jackie and Jamie was there also.  Had a great dinner one Sunday night with them, come to think of it we had dinner with them Friday also.  
Great times with great family.  Glad we got to make the connection again.  Weird how things work.  Tim lives in Portland and we never see each other.  It takes almost a random encounter like this to reconnect. Had a great time with him and his family. 
Below are the photos of the rudder fix.  The first photo shows the rudder stock and the square fitting on top of it.  Another solid piece of steel tubing attaches to the stock via a sleeve and then 8 set screws. The top of the new piece goes into a carrier bearing and that is glassed into the seats.  Very solid now. No wiggle at all.

I was going to show a picture of our new cushions but will wait for Jen to do that. 
Here are some photos of the first island we hit after our 240 mile trip across the Sea of Cortez. 
This is Esenada grande on Espirtu Santo.  Love it here

Here are some from Isla San Francisco.   Beautiful here also.

On our way to Escondido.
