It’s been awhile since our last blog update, but we’ve been keeping busy in Puerto Vallarta for the past 2 weeks.

My parents flew in for a 5-day visit, staying at the Westin resort which was a 15 minute walk from where we kept the boat at Marina Vallarta.  We spent most days relaxing at the Westin pool and most evenings at different restaurants along the marina.  It was their first visit to Mexico, but they didn’t really come to see the sights, just to relax and spend time with us before we leave for the South Pacific why not try this out.  Besides a bag full of boat parts, they brought with them some things from Pennsylvania–deer bologna/pepperoni thanks to my sister & brother-in-law, and my dad’s home-made sauer kraut.

We also completed some boat tasks during the past 2 weeks.  The biggest project was having the teak decks on the coach-top re-caulked (more details will be provided in a separate post).  I also did some work on the windvane and Karen finished some sewing projects.
