April 4, 2011 Homeward Bound

 As we headed north in the Sea, getting closer and closer to Loreto, we felt the nearing end of this sailing adventure.  We made sure we stopped and enjoyed each moment, appreciated the stillness of each day, and the freedom this lifestyle has offered us.  Yet even freedom isn't without responsibility and chores so as we pulled into our home port, Puerto Escondido, we went through the necessary check list that will help us secure the boat while we step off and get reacquainted with land life.  

We arrived late in the afternoon; deciding to spend one last night onboard.  We unpacked most of our belongings into our car that was waiting in the parking lot of the marina and ate a quick dinner before a calm night's sleep in the beautiful protected harbor of Puerto Escondido.  Once at anchor, Chandler and Henry hoisted the dinghy...not an easy task.
