The La Paz Waltz and A View From The Top

Greetings fellow humans,

There is something called the La Paz Waltz. It’s a cheeky way of describing how different boats swing at anchor here in La Paz, Mexico. The music starts when strong wind and current oppose each other. While dancing is fine, kissing is a bit more risque. My neighbors this past Sunday were at it. They may have been smooching. It was a little difficult to tell from my angle, but they were close enough to be suspect. Not that I’m a puritan, but Sampaguita doesn’t want her delicate parts fondled in the anchorage.

No, I didn’t acquire a drone. I’m too old school for that, plus their invasive nature (and now common use in warfare) creeps me out. This is from atop of Sampaguita’s mast. I went up on a calmish, low current day to inspect before heading into the sunset. Everything looks as it should. I use a Top Climber to ascend and descend, allowing me to go it alone. It gets easier and less daunting the more you do it. Relaxing at the top in fairly calm water affords a moment for video. And Sampaguita’s top is only 31 feet up.
