Merry Christmas to all. It has certainly been
a bit difficult to be in the Christmas spirit when it seems like summer. I
have to remind myself constantly that it is December. Currently the
Wayward is anchored in Caleta Partida, an old volcano crater about half mile
across. My mother and daughter are aboard and we had a nice x-mas morning
here. I have to brag here like a proud Papa. The day before
yesterday my daughter became an official scuba diver. We got on with a
scuba charter and headed to Los Isolotes, a well known rock where sealions and
people swim together. The little pups are cute as can be and seem to have
no fear of people. Z my daughter having quite a bit of reservations about
the whole affair, not only of swimming with wild animals but also of putting on
scuba gear and learning how to use this contraption they strapped to her
back. It is wonderful watching someone overcome their fears right in front
of your eyes. So the instructor put her through the paces, clearing
your mask underwater, dropping and finding your regulator and putting it back in
your mouth , all the hand signs and what to and not to do. Zanovia
passed with flying colors so down we went together and had a great dive with the
sealions swimming between us and me feeling quite pround of my hija. We
will head to Isla San Francisco today and check out the sites there before
heading back to La Paz. My Lauren, having jumped ship to visit family
back in the northwest will be returning on Monday to visit with my family
before they head out on Wednesday. Hope everyone had a great Christmas and
have a happy safe New Year.
