The laptop prognosis is in. The new Dell Inspiron is toast but the solid hard drive is still unharmed and can be put into my older Toshiba lap top. Also the exterior hard drive with the October 31st back-up is still working. I shall go to the repair shop tomorrow. And plan to depart Sunday for Malaque, near Barra de Navidad.

I had gone to the computer shop on Monday, told the come back on Tuesday, told that I would get an e-mail before 5 p.m., nothing, called and sent mails on Wednesday. Gave up. Sailed to La Cruz about 10 miles on the North side of Banderas Bay. A delightful sail. It is much quieter here than the Vallarta Marina Village. La Cruz is just a small town. The marina is very nice. Tuesday afternoon John and Jan Alskog my Gig Harbor friends and dock live-aboard summer neighbors came to see me at the Vallarta Marina. They picked me up on Thursday and took me to their apartment in Sayulita. The Alskogs have been coming here to spend the winters for the last 7 years. I had a very special Thanksgiving with my Gig Harbor friends. The dinner was at this gorgeous home of their Coloradans, Chuck and Teke, overlooking the bay of Sayulita. Much to be thankful for this year.
