Southward to San Juanico

November 10, 2024  
When the weather was right we made our way further south to the beautiful anchorage of San Juanico.
With five large sandy beaches separated by cool rock formations, a high steep-sided muffin-top island, and another island with cool rock pillars and formations, San Juanico was a very picturesque area, and we would have happily stayed there for longer than we did had the weather forecast been better. 
We very much enjoyed the days that we had there, and every day we had a picnic packed and were out for a day of exploring.  Jason did some productive spearfishing/snorkelling, we spent a lot of time at some of the different beaches, and we also did a cool hike.  

We hiked across to an outer beach and had a picnic, and then on our way back we took a side trail up one of the hills and got a beautiful view down over the anchorage. 
One of the beaches that we went to while at San Juanico had an area of sand dunes up from the beach. 
Jason climbed up to take a look up above and Falcon headed right up after him.  It was fun to watch him climbing up the sliding sand and he did really well and made it all the way up all by himself. 
It was his first time climbing sand dunes, and after that he kept asking for “sand dune”. 
One thing that was really fun to do there was to take a flashlight out at night and shine it into the water.  At each anchorage we see different stuff.  In San Juanico the light attracted a lot of fish, and we all had a good time watching them swimming in circles in the light.

    Such a beautiful spot. I loved to hear Falcon talk about the fish on the video. He is getting so big. Congratulations, Falcon, on climbing your first sand dune! I am sure there will be many more firsts for him in Mexico. Take care!
    And Merry Christmas

Finally Back to the Blog

September 26,  2024 It has been way too long since I have written an update for the blog.   Sorry about that.   Falcon is almost 22 months old, and computer work is a challenging thing to get done with him always wanting to be involved in what I am doing, so needless to say, blog writing has taken a back burner.     Many of you will already know much of what we have been up to over the past year and a bit, but some of you may not, and I thought that either way I would write up some quick summary notes and post some pictures.  Most of the pictures are of Falcon, as he is the love of our lives.    Lucky for us, given that we live in Ocean Falls where it rains a lot, Falcon enjoys being out in the rain.       And he really enjoys climbing into and onto things, perhaps just to see if he can fit.  And, because of his love of climbing, we built him a climbing wall, on which he has gotten quite proficient.

A Fantastic Birthday

Image
September 9th (Wednesday) Our first day off after our 8-day shift, and it was also my birthday.  I enjoyed what felt like a nice long sleep-in as compared to getting up at 05:45 for work, and then Jason gave me my birthday presents and made me a delicious brunch of blueberry pancakes, bacon, and sausages.  Then we were off to the lake.  It was a beautiful, sunny day and glassy calm as we planed our way along the lake.  We went down to the south end to check it out and explore, as we had never been down to that end before.   As the sun got hotter we wanted to enjoy it, and to go swimming, so we headed to our perfect picnic and swimming area of Triple Falls.  There we enjoyed a fantastic afternoon of relaxing and swimming.  The water felt quite a bit cooler than it had the last time that we were there, so our refreshing swims were brief. One time, as I was coming out of the water, I saw a bumblebee struggling on the surface....

First Things First

Image
November 25, 2024  Our first priority in La Paz was to order our new solar panels.   We had priced them out and sourced them at different locations before getting here, but we were unable to pre-order them before going into the store to pay for them.   Once they were ordered we focused on other things on our to do list, which included getting Falcon to the beachside playground.   He did so well on the slides, and got to go on a "big kid" swing for the first time, and he loves to swing.   We also went for several walks around areas that we knew from the last time that we were here.   One of these included a walk past the Airbnb where Falcon was born.   Almost everyday we visited the El Magote beach, which we knew so well from many long walks previously.
