Welllll.....on second thought...nah.

Don't help.

I am writing this from Island TImes salon at the El Milagro (Miracle....and it is!) Marina in Isla Mujeres Mexico, getting ready to deliver her back to Port Uglyville Texas.

We just returned from a dingy ride aboard Tender Time, back from town where we ate Mayan style fish washed down with a couple of mojitos, and yes, I saw the Southern Cross for the first time tonight.

Earlier we dove an old barge for lobster and snapper, and I almost lapsed into a state of ecstatic rhapsody over all of the coral, tunicates, sponges and other marine life encrusting the old wreck.

For breakfast we feasted on Tuna roe, Tuna steaks and Rainbow Runner, all grilled to perfection served with a wonderful habanero-avacado salsa and fresh steaming corn tortillas....

Lunch consisted of a grilled chicken soup in a base of capers, olives potatos and who knows what else followed by a coconut right off of the palm, cool water slakeing my tropical thirst , with the meat as desert, as sweet as candy and the consistancy of butter, definately NOT something I have ever before experienced. In fact it was so good that I stumbled back to the boat, passing out in a profound narcoleptic coma, finally awakened by the late afternoon sun playing hide and seek with Island Times gigantic bimini.

We did manage to fix the windless, a true feat in a place such as this.

Yes Jim, it is paradise, and it is just the tip of the iceberg, and I have a notion that El Caribe II won't be long in coming here, as well as points further south.

I will try and update again soon, but of course we are in those latitudes, so I might not be able to, things can be just a bit different in the tropics...... Anyway, watch for the SPOT to start moving in the next year or two (well maybe a day or two.....)

Until then....
