Buenas Tardes from Agua Verde!
Before I start rambling on
about the cute little fishing town we are currently in, I must openly brag about
my wonderful, handsome, and newly licensed HAM radio operator boyfriend who
passed BOTH of his HAM tests in La Paz and who deserves more credit than he
gives himself (as I looked at some of the test questions online and man were
they hard!) And he had to take the normal AND the advanced test to get the
license he wanted....Nice work baby ;- ) Not to say that he has been chatting it
up on the HAM nets as of late, but the license will enable us to participate in
cruisers nets (HAM is available all over the world and is more extensive which
makes it very useful to boaters but if you don't have a license and call sign
you can only use it in case of an emergency) in the south pacific, get weather
reports, and check-in with other boaters nearby to keep tabs on one another for
general safety reasons.
Oh by the way, as I am
standing in the pilot house typing away, there is a ray of some sort (I cant
ever tell if is a sting or manta ray) hurling itself out of the water and
flapping madly, trying to stay airborne, before splashing back down and then
repeating the process......nature at its best! and very entertaining to say the
least. That's it for now. More on the cute fishing village to come. Stay
tuned..... ~Lorena
