Whether that be Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy New Year, or something else I’m not educated to know about. For Sampaguita and I, it’s Happy Holiday. So that is what we wish. Here in Mexico, it is definitely Merry Christmas.

Funny meeting. My anchor neighbors here in Bahia De Los Muertos are on a boat named Opale. I met them first when on Breskell transiting the Northwest Passage in 2019. A small world. I did not recognize them or the boat in particular, but when we met here at the restaurant I guessed they were French by their boat and accent. It is fairly easy to spot a French built boat (and the accent.) (I have experience in both these matters.) Aluminum, cutter-rigged, centerboard type. The boat, that is. It was through this that we sorted out our past meeting.

I had a chance to upload some videos at the local restaurant. Happy Holidays.
