Gallery Wall Inspiration: Eclectic Layouts
Apartment Therapy's Home Remedies
The gallery wall trend is still going strong, and it's a great solution for collectors of art and objects. Gallery walls have evolved from perfectly matched and level frames to an eclectic mix of art that gives the viewer insight into the person behind the collection. While these galleries may seem effortlessly thrown together, they can actually take years to accumulate. Thinking of starting a gallery wall of your own? Here's a little inspiration.
1. Objects mixed with paintings and illustrations create an extra level of intrigue in a living space. From Fritz Hansen.
2. The leaning gallery wall provides maximum flexibility, and a great solution for renters who don't want to put lots of nails in the wall. From Emma's Design Blog.
3. Flat screen TVs blend effortlessly into a gallery wall. From This is Glamorous.
4. This wall is from the Kate Spade London pop-up shop, and includes a pair of boxing gloves. Spotted on HGTV.
5. The space next to the staircase is an oft-forgotten wall space that can be valuable real estate for your treasured pieces. From Apartment 34.
6. You can add to the gallery wall as time goes on, or until you run out of wall space. From Lonny.
7. Cull your collection by content for a more uniform look. From Dezeen.
8. On a budget? Go frame-less with masking tape and receive the added flexibility of swapping out one piece of art for another at a moment's notice. From Smitten Studio.
9. Frame-less and framed pieces in muted shades from Milk Magazine via Decor Demon.
10. Never be scared to mix frames, from painted lacquer to wood. Mixed frames can be more interesting than perfectly matched frames. From Style by Emily Henderson.

Criterion Dynamax 8 Schmidt Cassegrain Telescope
Posted 15 December 2009 - 12:54 PM
Posted 15 December 2009 - 01:12 PM
SON! it came with a Golden Pyramid tripod and built-in wedge! What else do you want!
Thanks for bringing back old memories! I sold the scope and tripod to a guy who said he would never part it out but keep it as one unit.
Thanks for the nice article.
Clear Skies!
Posted 15 December 2009 - 02:01 PM
Original light beige and blue color combo.
It wasn't the greatest SCT in the vicinity, but the scope delivered a decent diffraction image. No really gross aberrations. I've heard of others who weren't so lucky.
Anyways, there's at least one usable Dynamax 8 out there.
If the price is low enough and the potential buyer gets a chance to try 'er out before spending their money, it could be worth a shot.
Posted 15 December 2009 - 02:34 PM
Posted 15 December 2009 - 02:50 PM
So, it predated the Comet Halley craze by quite a number of years.
Many of the scope's optical problems could be traced to the way the corrector plates were made. VERY high speed polishing.
The glass would come off the machine steaming hot.
Not a great way to produce a smooth polish or figure.

the early ones were real bad
later ones were better but never as good as c8
They weren't the only ones that were bad. Some of the Celestrons came out with some bad optics as well, although in general, the quality control seemed to be somewhat better than that of Criterion's Dynamax series. Over the past ten years or so, optical quality in the catadioptrics has tended to be fairly good, but back in the 1970's and 80's, it was sometimes hit or miss. Clear skies to you.

dynamax 8
c925 put it to bed --BUT dynamax image is not that BAD
Posted 15 December 2009 - 10:09 PM
Posted 15 December 2009 - 10:20 PM
This is all from memory, I never transcribed my 6 hours of tapes with him on the history of Criterion and B&L, but he told me that to a large corporation like B&L, the telescope division was a tiny drop in the bucket, so it had no qualms about discontinuing the line without a second thought when top officials realized that the market for telescopes was so small.
John told me that the B&L 4000 had sold very, very well, and the 8001 and other SCs being made at the end were all fine scopes.
Indeed, I couldn't resist when John offered to sell me all the scopes he had in his attic, several B&L 4000s that were the last off the line, a mint Criterion 4000 and a B&L 6000. All were fine scopes with excellent optical quality. Not as good as my Questar, but not bad scopes.
Posted 15 December 2009 - 10:42 PM
Sure was a PRETTY telescope-- B&L 4000
Posted 15 December 2009 - 10:53 PM
Barry, I would like to find and buy one of those last B&L 4000 with the table top legs. Everyone says they were very nice scopes. (Especially of the RA motor still works!)
Sure was a PRETTY telescope-- B&L 4000
No, I'm afraid that many of the B&L 4000s were not very nice scopes. Their quality control was worse than the Dynamax was (quality varied from fair to nearly unusable). They tended to give oval or triangular star images as the secondaries were sometimes pinched and were hard to collimate. I would suggest avoiding them. Clear skies to you.
Posted 15 December 2009 - 11:09 PM
I would say if you could test the scope out, you might find a good one, and really like the scope's portability, the black molded carrying case, sleek styling and two decent eyepieces that came with the package. Certainly no Questar, but at about $150-$200 for a used one right now, it's worth it.
I've also found out through the years that there are no absolutes in telescopes, and quality varies on every SC, so I enjoy trying and testing each scope, before passing on them, especially if I can get a good price on it.

Firstly - this post motivated me to join Cloudy Nights and respond to this post. Thanks to Joe Lalumia for his reply!
Secondly - what I'm about to write will almost certainly label me as a dweeb or schmuck, but away we go anyway. If you want to skip the story of how I got the B&L 8000 just scroll to 'The Low Down' for the pertinent info.
Thus far in my life I've had two scopes. A Tasco Refractor in my youth, regrettably I do not have that scope anymore; and a Bausch & Lomb Criterion 8000 that I still have to this day. So how did I end up with one of the worst, darn near most reviled scopes in history you ask - well read on!
Back in 1988 after doing a stint in the military, I returned home to go to school. My little brothers friend had an eccentric oil millionaire granpa that wanted a scope to look at Halleys Comet. So he telephoned a Camera store which recommended the B&L 8000. Afterall it was a Bausch & Lomb for God's sake. They make good eyewear, surely they must make quality optics!
I was invited over for a social party, and when I saw that thing for the first time on the golden tripod I thought "What the heck is this guy doing with a missile launcher?". As I got closer I just fell in love with the scope. He didn't use it since no one knew how to operate the thing. I volunteered but this guy was more about look and don't touch than the Grinch that stole Christmas. As is often said, I wanted it so much I could taste it!
Fast forward and after his death the scope goes to his son, who also can't use the thing. The son's gig is model trains. So much in fact that he has a very thorough store that no one visits - really. But despite my asking, he wouldn't part with it. Many years latter the family had a medical emergency but no medical insurance, kinda sounds familiar in todays world doesn't it. Reluctantly he sold it to me with a whole slew of extra's, stuff I didn't even know existed. So from 1st sight to eventual purchase was 10 years give or take a couple of months. Talk about delayed gratification.
The Low Down!
OK - I now have this B&L 8000 with a golden tripod with roll around contraption, many B&L eyepieces of multiple designs with barlow, a RFT adapter, Prime focus eyepiece tube for planetary imaging with 'T' adapters for a whole host of camera models, variable frequency DC to AC clock drive, off axis guider with illuminated eyepiece, nebula filter, spectroscopic eyepiece - and other stuff frankly packed away that I haven't even used. Honestly I think this thing is a cross between a B&L 8000 and has some, but not all of the 8001's features, kind of a hybrid of sorts.
Yes, the scope isn't the best, and really performed much, much better when profesionally collimated. The very knowledgeable individual was concerned enough about the optics that he telephoned me to discuss them.
I'm not going to say that their reputation isn't justified - probably so. Folks - I know people who have Dynamax'es, and frankly we swear that they are better than the bad wrap they universally get.
So why do I write about this decrepit SCT wannabe? Because in my opinion it is the best Star Party scope there is!
Star Parties are for the kids, but face it they are gonna almost smash your stuff. What better than an expendable scope? Kids are easily impressed - so this scope looks BIG to them and not much different than the other SCT's on the lot. Put your hands all over the cheap eyepiece, no problem. Move the scope because what you were looking at moved out of view, no problem. At the dark sky site, I left it out overnight and it even endured the dew. Was dripping wet before sunrise, no problem - pointed it into the rising sun and in no time the moisture boiled off - packed up in the supplied cases and off we go! Still works GREAT!
So this scope gets a bad wrap - so what? Maybe if I'd stop drinking Shiner Bock when I observe my visual acuity would go up enough where I'd give a hoot about it not looking like a Hubble Picture.
I learned many lessons using this scope, for instance how to polar align for the first time - a good experience to have - and it tracked so very well. No GoTo - oh gasp - well you better know how to read charts and Star hop. I've had invaluable experiences with this scope!
So it's the junk yard dog of the SCT's you say when at the drag races and doesn't posses the snob appeal of the other entrants at the show - so what! The kids love the thing, afterall it's like a cheap mans Porsche.
So before you rag on a scope - keep in mind that there is no arguing with taste. This scope might be a low down dirty shame, but with a little spice it sure is palatable to this guy.
Sorry for the long rambling post - and more importantly thanks for suffering my feeble writing.

Posted 14 November 2012 - 12:53 AM
This review should be taken down. It is not credible. You cannot tell if a SCT is collimated just by looking into the back of the scope. You have to have a star image that is defocused at moderate to high magnification to accurately check collimation. This is just a hit piece.
Mark Swanson
Agreed. This was more of a rant than a "review", and does the Dynamax 8 something of an injustice. It provides little to back up its statements, and is too short and slanted to be of much use. As I said, the Dynamax quality control varied somewhat, but the 8 inch units I used were at least passable, although again, not the best (but the same could be said of some C8's at the time). Clear skies to you.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 09:59 AM
That Dynamax image isn't bad at all. Your compairing a smaller scope made before computer controll, not to mention the 9.25 has a slightly different optical configuration (slower Primary)
I almost forgot I did a face off between aC 9.25 and Dynaax 8 -- Idid in IR to reduce effect of seeing
here is results
dynamax 8
c925 put it to bed --BUT dynamax image is not that BAD
Compair the performance of a 1976 Vega to a new car.
I have a Dynamax 6" SCT the DX6 that has superb optics!
even compaired to my NexStar C6 SCT. the C6 is brighter
but not sharper.

Product Details
Code: 412972
Sizes: XS-S-M-L-XL
Product Features
Trilastic is our distinctive marking, the symbol of Mares know-how in terms of Neoprene.
At the start, Trilastic was identified with the idea of developing a dive suit with Neoprene sheets of different thicknesses. The greatest thickness is positioned at the core chest area and back, gradually thinning out on the arms and legs down to the wrists and ankles, where the material used is not just thinner but also more elastic, to improve seal and, of course, facilitate putting the suit on and taking it off.
Today, Trilastic has greater meaning. It is a world of materials, linings, finishes, zippers, and technical details that all aim to create the ideal suit for every need and every type of dive. Trilastic means mating the most suitable type of material to each section of the body for that particular type of dive.

Two connected by a short isthmus in the Western Hemisphere, and one as a large island with two smaller islands in a bay to the east. It should look similar to http://www.fantasymapmaker.com/wp-co...sy-world-1.JPG. I will be glad to mention you in the credits if the book and refer you to friends if you do wish.

text: I am having problems with Apple iSync when trying to Reset Sync Data. Let me start at the beginning... After the last Zimbra upgrade we installed (we are running 5.0.18_GA_3011.MACOSXx86_10.5 NETWORK edition) I noticed on my iPhone that a new contact I had made in Address Book was duplicating itself on a never-ending basis. So, I logged into zimbra webmail and sure enough, there it is, going on forever. There was only 1 in my Apple Address Book, however. So, my computer guy tells me to Reset the sync data via the Zimbra pane in my System Preferences. I do and it works great. No more duplicating contact. My boss then realizes he is having the same issue, so I try to reset the sync data on his machine. It says it has finished the sync, but it only pushed 25 contacts to the server (there were over 600). Then, it continues to ask him if it is okay to delete data for several days. So, I think maybe he needs a newer version of the iSync connector, so I download it from the Admin Console, but it crashes when trying to install. I then notice that the iSync connector is version 5.0.17, even though the server is running 5.0.18. So, I contact tech support and finally figure out they want me to install version 5.0.19 (of the iSync connector). So, I do. Version 5.0.19 installs on the affected machine fine, but still will not complete the sync when resetting the sync data. And, now, since I have installed version 5.0.19 on my machine, it is doing the same thing. Even when I re-installed version 5.0.17 on my machine, it still will not complete the reset sync data. And, it doesn't give an error message. It says that the sync finished even though it only pushed a fraction of the contacts to the server. Also, those few that do get pushed are now duplicating themselves over and over. I have several ideas on how to get around it, but it would be nice if iSync worked properly, so I thought I would give the forum a try. Maybe there is a bug someone knows about? Any help would be MUCH appreciated! Thank you!

We arrived here in Barra de Navidad, or 'Barra' late in the afternoon on January 4th and anchored in the lagoon. The sail down here with 22 knots of wind from Tenacatita was fun, getting into this lagoon on a minus, but rising tide was, noteworthy!
We came into the outer channel, which is well marked and relatively straight forward without issue. That channel leads back to the entrance to the marina on the south side where it forks, one channel leads east back to the lagoon and the other bends south and east around to the fuel dock. There is clearly an outer channel that follows the bank around the outside past the fuel dock, but apparently does not go anywhere. According to our chart guide we wanted the center channel that takes a slight dog leg just past the entrance to the marina. The problem was at this extreme low tide there were sand bars extending out from the south side of the channel and along bar on our left. Keep in mind none of this is marked. The sight was reminiscent of running a ski boat on the Lower Colorado River.
Anyway, we started down the wrong channel, which was still OK, but trying to get back to where we were supposed to be was where the problems started. We draw about 6'3" and had 2 to 3 feet under our keel, which is not a lot of water. We proceeded very slowly, about 1-2 knots, just enough to make way with all the wind, when we grounded. The bottom conditions in this lagoon are sand over mud so this is what's called a "soft grounding." The boat just kind of heaves forward as the keel impacts and presses into the bottom until you're stops. With all the wind outside we had strong gusts in the lagoon that push the boat even with the sails down, so we were listing on our imbedded keel. I was able to back us off the bar fairly quickly and all was well. Still picking our way slowly we hit a second time and this time I couldn't back off. We were being pushed sideways by the wind and I thought we were going to be stuck until high tide at midnight. Several local fishermen were motioning towards the correct channel, but getting there was the hard part. The water in here is cloudy and visibility is limited to just a few feet so you can't see bottom. We got the bright idea to use our boat hook, extended to full length and probe off each side of the boat. We found that we had about 4' of depth to starboard, but plenty of water to port. With that I turned to port and powered through a few feet of sand/mud to clear water. OK, free again, but not for long. Getting back to the channel proved to be a challenge; we grounded several more times, but were able to free ourselves relatively easily in the same manner.
Once in the channel we were home free and we came through it all almost unscathed; Marisa took a fall on the deck on one of the groundings, which resulted in a couple of nice bruises, one visible, one not!
Mike and Bill from So Inclined had come out to help and later Bill said he was going to nickname me, "Bounce." OK, so in self defense several boats per day go aground in this entrance. When we left Barra for Cuastecomate (but that's another story) three boats in front of us all grounded at least temporarily, one so badly that it took assistance to get off. It ain't easy! Barra is an interesting little tourist town catering to Mexicans and us northerners alike with several up-scale restaurants and quite a few budget priced eateries. There are a few tourist oriented bars complete with live music in the evenings playing mostly US Oldies with a strong Mexican accent. There are several smaller and older hotels in town and a nice ocean front beach. Barra sits on a long sand bar connected to the mainland at the north. The large lagoon we anchored in with about 15 other boats is to the east and then across the narrow opening into the lagoon there is a very large and beautiful hotel complex on the hill, The Grand Bay Hotel, that is as nice as its name sounds, complete with marina and golf course, but we weren't staying there. Once in the lagoon we were safely anchored with get this, 6 inches under the keel! It was the low tide of the month so that was sufficient in this situation, just un-nerving. The lagoon is brown brackish water and no one swims in it and because it is rumored to have crocodiles, which is the down side, but it is a calm anchorage safe in any wind direction. There is an efficient water taxi service from Barra to both the hotel and to the boats anchored in the lagoon. You call them on VHF radio and a panga picks you up in just a few minutes and deposit you at their dock on the back bay in Barra. A guy there charges you for the round trip, $25 pesos each or $2 US and gives you a ticket for the return ride. After midnight no one attends their dock and the sign on the wall says to flash the lights off and on and one of the pangas will come for you. It sounds kind of odd, but we found out that it works! You can also take your own dinghy into town and dock it at the Sands Hotel. They allow us cruisers to tie our dinghies off on their sea wall and use their pool and bathrooms. All they ask is that we patronize their bar, and they'll give you a wifi code while you are there. How could we refuse and the beer is only $15 pesos or about a buck and a quarter! As a side note to the Sands being friendly, I ordered my first hamburger there since leaving the US in November and it was darn good! It's just a short walk from the Sands to a number of restaurants, abarrotes, a laundry service and you're right in town.
There is a local French Bakery, "El Horno Frances" operated by, a "real Frenchman" and his wife. The cool thing is that he delivers by boat to the marina and lagoon. It's fun and quite good. He announces his rounds on VHF Channel 22, the cruiser's net, "this is the French baker, I am beginning my rounds," or "I am entering the lagoon" and at the end he announces, "I have completed my tour" all with French accent. Anyway, his products are really good, pastries, breads, quiche, croissants and more, all on a daily basis delivered to your boat, and he will take special orders a day ahead. It's better than the Helms Bakery truck, can't beat it! Speaking of the Cruiser's Net; this net is operated on VHF channel 22 and has a typical maximum range of 25 miles. This net is operated six days a week by cruisers in and for the greater Barra area. As in other areas, Mazatlan, P.V. and so on, we disseminate local information keeping track of each other on who has arrived, who is departing, who needs assistance, local weather forecast and tides. It takes about half an hour and starts at 0900 hrs and is all volunteer. Each day someone takes the MC roll and follows a script then begs for someone to take it tomorrow! We also have HF radio system on Pacifico and listen to the Amigo net broadcast at 0800 out of La Paz. That net is a little more formal, but is essentially the same with a greater focus on weather. The HF radio bands are capable of reaching out hundreds to even thousands of miles, case in point the fellow who provides the daily weather is Don Anderson, a "retired cruiser" and weather expert who broadcasts out of Oxnard, Ca. We spent several days anchored in the Barra lagoon visiting with So Inclined and crew and partaking of the offerings of Barra. As I mentioned you don't want to swim in the lagoon and despite access to both the Sands pool and for the few days So Inclined was at the marina to the hotel pool there as well, but not being able to jump into the water on a warm day from the boat or use our kayak and paddle board made it less than desirable.
After Bill, Cindy and Josh left on Sunday we decided along with So Inclined to move to more hospitable waters. We will depart Barra and head north just a few miles to the small anchorage at Cuastecomate, also known as the "secret anchorage" to wait for Sirocco to catch up with us there. Barra was fun, but it was beginning to feel like moss was growing on our keel so it was time to get moving again. We will be off to another anchorage, but there will be more to come on Barra and some photos too.
01/07/2011, Barra de Navidad
It seems like I'm always playing catch-up on this blog, have I said that before? We have not had much internet again and this will again be a late post. We departed Bahia Chamela on Sunday, 1/2/11 and made an uneventful 31 nm, 6 hour passage to Bahia Tenacatita. We had to motor sail the entire distance, but we had to make water and charge batteries anyway and that about topped us off in both departments. I think I mentioned this before, but we have a 400 Amp hour house battery bank, which really means 200 usable hours and with refrigeration pulling down 4-5 amps per hour 24/7, plus lights and etc, you use it up quickly. We do have solar panels and they are great, but do not make enough to fully compensate for what we use; they just post pone charging. The good thing was that we were fully topped off on power and water when we got there.
We were on a heading of roughly 120° traveling basically ESE down the coast and had a pretty good following sea, which means that the swells were coming at us from behind. The wind was from the ESE as well and we motor sailed with just the main sail most of the time. The following seas can give you a little boost, but they also tend to push the stern of the boat around and that means a lot of hand steering because the auto pilot can't handle it.
We arrived at Bahia Tenacatita with our "buddy boat" So Inclined with Mike and his guests Bill, Cindy and Josh Roush still aboard at about 1300 hrs. In short order were anchored in about 20 feet of water and had our dinghies down and were heading to the beach. This is a pretty large bay and there are two anchorages on the north side. The outer anchorage is behind series of rocks and reefs known as "the aquarium", but we didn't stay there because that is also the site of the former beach community also known as Tenacatina that was recently taken over by court order on behalf of the plaintiff in a suit in Mexican Courts. The new guy promptly had the entire place bulldozed, fenced off and patrolled by armed guards. Needless to say we avoided that entire issue. In Mexico the beaches are public property to the high tide limits so you could still get onto the beach there, but there is nothing left. We were tucked up safely inside the second bay behind Punta Chubasco. This bay is also called "Blue Bay" because there is a hotel at the eastern most section of the beach called Hotel Blue Bay. Was the water blue? Actually there has been an algae bloom taking place and the water all the way down this area of the coast is green and cloudy with limited visibility but a beautiful spot and almost no development. This entire strip of beach is vacant accept for that hotel and at our anchorage there is a small, privately operated tent campground that caters to vacationing Mexicans from the inland regions. There is also at a small river mouth here that feeds a large estuary landlocked behind the two bays within this bay.
This was a great place to put the paddle board and surf board into the water and head to the sandy beach. We saw a few small rays and there have been some jelly fish, but they are readily visible so we watch where we are going to jump before getting into the water. It was a fun afternoon at the beach and in the water, and it turned out that the little camp ground had a palapa cantina that served cold beer and some great chips and salsa!
The following morning we had our own "jungle river tour" in our dinghies. We went into the river mouth on the slack tide and headed inland to the head water about 2.5 miles upstream. There is a larger lake there and it is actually behind the beach at Tenacatita, which is roped off and there are guards on that side as well. It was pretty interesting trip in that we actually saw two baby crocodiles and a variety of birds. The channel gets narrower as you proceed further up into the estuary and the mangroves eventually overlap the entire water way. We were back to the boats in time for lunch then back to the beach where we tried to surf some of the very small waves. Some of the photos of our dinghy show wheels and tires at the back of the boat with the tires raised up above the transom. Those wheels are mounted there to be dropped and pinned in place for beach landings. When we approach the beach we stop and lower the wheels then proceed onto the beach. The wheels touch the sand before the propeller from the dinghy motor and the best part is that we can step out of the dinghy and pick it up by the bow and walk it onto the beach, like a reverse wheel-barrow. The dinghy and motor combined weigh about 140 lbs. and are just too heavy and awkward to try to drag up the beach.
We tried to take a land excursion out of here to what was rumored to be the town of Tenacatita, about which there were also rumors that it was only a half hour walk, maybe 2 or 3 kilometers. Well after walking UP the long driveway from the Blue Bay Hotel and not finding a road we accepted a ride from one of their employees, Marcus, who was driving a hotel van, with air conditioning. Did I tell you it was about 80° and all uphill? Anyway, Marcus was a good sport and offered to take us to the main road where we could catch a bus, but he advised Tenacitita was really 45 minutes by car from here and it will cost us $300 pesos for a taxi ride back, with six of us we would need two taxis! What to do? We all discussed our options while Marcus patiently waited. For $200 pesos he took us back to the campground at the beach where we were anchored. We were happy, Marcos was happy, and to boot, he had some ice cold beer that he offered us for only a small "propina" or tip. It seems the beers were left over from a hotel function, what a deal. That's how things just seem to work down here.
Listening to the "cruiser's net" in the morning I recognized a fellow that I had met last Spring while doing a delivery out of Puerta Vallarta with my friend Terry (Coastal Passage II). Herb and his wife Juliette were also bringing a boat north and were friends of Terry. Anyway, Herb and Juliette live aboard Synchrony in this general area of Coastal Mexico and Herb was here in Tenacatita while Juliette was visiting in the States.
Herb gave us some great "local information" and for something to do accompanied us the following morning the 3 miles across the bay to the little community of La Manzanilla. We anchored off the beach at La Manzanilla at about 0800 hrs. on Tuesday, 1/4/2011 in about 25 feet of water. We were the only boats there and dinghied to the beach to make a surf landing. La Manzanilla is a small, somewhat colorful Mexican community that caters to a limited tourist trade because it is so isolated and has a natural, small town atmosphere. We all had breakfast at Martin's Restaurant where both Herb and the cruising guide said we could get great cinnamon rolls. It seemed Martin was either late or we were early and things took a little longer than planned, but the food was very good, although we are still waiting for those cinnamon rolls to come out of the oven!
We walked the town and I found a couple of tool items I'd needed to supplement my stores at a local 'ferretería', but not much else. Of interest, they do have a crocodile sanctuary 'in town' that is chain link fenced to keep the critters from strolling through town. Herb warned us that the afternoon winds would kick in and to be out of there by noon, which we were not, and they did. It was "fun" getting the anchor up with 18-20 knots of breeze across a long fetch. The wind waves were of short period and steep. We also didn't take the dinghy up, but were towing it, which is not a good thing to do in any kind of wind or sea conditions. We bashed back across the bay to the shelter of the headland behind Punta Chubasco where we put our dinghy up on deck and got our main sail up, put in a reef then headed back out. So Inclined had departed directly from La Manzanilla and our next stop was Barra de Navidad or just "Barra" about 15 miles further south.
We finally got to sail. It was about 15 miles out of Bahia Tenacatita, around the point, Punta Estrecho and into Barra. We were reaching across the bay then broad reaching around the point, gybed and headed downwind into Bahia de Navidad. It was pretty windy, 22 knots true when we dropped our sails before entering the channeled enterance. But, Barra de Navidad will be another story. This one has gone on long enough!
It sounds especially nice to be able to have friends in other boats around you on your journey. It makes the experiences that much better. Look forward to your return. I am wondering if Lee and Cathy will have to make an early return due to Cathy's back problem? She can't be having that great of an experience while she is in such pain. Doesn't seem to be easing with rest either. I guess that is the downside of extended vacations is health. Jeff is moving forward with the raft up at the end of the month by the looks of positive responses. Continued safe journey's and Happy New Year to you & Marissa!
Chamela anchorage: 19°35.029' N, 105° 07.923'W
Happy New Year everyone!
We arrived at Bahia Chamela and were anchored just off the beach in the calm waters behind Punta Perula by 1500 hrs. This was a 53 nm run from Ipala. This was a nice "motor sail" down. There was sometimes enough wind to sail effectively but we needed to make water, therefore run the engine. We are now fully caught up on our tanks and batteries, which is good. We were visited by a pod of spotted dolphins on the trip down. I always love to watch the dolphin play in our bow wake and had taken the camera for a few photos. I was looking directly down through the view finder when a rather large turtle passed through the viewer and clunked off the starboard side of the hull. I didn't get a shot of him, and I don't think he was damaged.
There is a small fishing and local tourist beach resort community named Perula here. I should say the anchorage is calm in that there is little northerly effect, but the local pangas run through the anchorage with disregard to their wakes effect on the anchored boats, but no flopper stopper was needed. It seems commercial boatmen and fishermen universally have little regard for us "recreational boaters."Marisa came to life later in the afternoon and we took the dinghy to shore to accompany the crew of So Inclined. We walked the beach, had a beer at one of the little palapa cantinas and interestingly met a Mexican family at the table next to us who were visiting from Riverside, Ca. (my home town) and Chicago! Small world. That evening both crews got together aboard So Inclined for dinner and to celebrate New Years Eve and Bill's birthday. Marisa conducted class on how to make an authentic Mexican margarita and salsa fresca, as learned in our "Salsa y Salsa" class in Mazatlan (see Marks post of 12/3/10 from Mazatlan). We had a great dinner aboard So Inclined, thanks to Bill for sharing his fresh red snapper with us.
There was no television to watch the ball drop in Time Square, but we actually stayed up to bring in the New Year with a toast of champagne before heading back to Pacifico on our dew damp dinghy. Again, we shouldn't complain here. Our weather continues to be very pleasant, mid to upper 70s day time to upper 50s-low 60s at night. New Years Day we stayed aboard Pacifico to get caught up on email and internet and some boat projects while the crew of So Inclined moved a mile or two to relocate between the islands of Isla Pajarera and Isla Cocinas and get in some snorkeling. We had agreed to leave for Tenacatita Sunday morning at 0600 hrs to again travel that approximately 30 nm distance together, both crews wanting to get south to warmer weather and waters as soon as possible.
I checked out distances and location relative to places of interest in the US. We are as the crow flies 1030 nm from our slip in Oceanside and almost directly below Denver, Colorado, so hi to all the grandsons there! This area is on Central Standard time and we are one hour ahead of Denver and two from the West Coast, that means it is dark until almost 0700 and light until about 1830 hrs or 6:30 PM, maybe a little later so when we leave at 0600 hrs it is completely dark.
Here's a late post of the cape and it's lighthouse, if you can see it.
Ipala anchorage: 20° 14.133' N, 105° 34.357'W
Greetings, this is a late post, or post-post I guess. We were joined in La Cruz by So Inclined for our last evening on the town with our friends from Swift Current and Blue Rodeo. We had to get one more evening at Tacos on the Street under our belts and some last items from the abarrote. Marisa has posted a few photos to go along with this story.
We left the marina at La Cruz at 0417 hrs, only 17 minutes behind schedule and not bad considering Marisa was sick, it seems she caught the flu. We had used public transportation, busses and taxis there in the greater Puerto Vallarta area and she was probably exposed to something. Luckily I did not get it, I'll credit my having a flu shot for that. We were on our way, buddy boating with So Inclined with Mike and guests, Bill and Cindy Roush with son Josh, from Oceanside YC. Bill was a pal and brought several spare parts down for me, kudos to both he and Buddy from West Marine. Bill got a green light at the Mexican Customs inspection coming into country so no import duty issues.
There are times when I get the "big boat envy" and then again at times I'm very happy with Pacifico just as she is, this was one of those times. Marisa was pretty well down all day Thursday and half of Friday before she felt well enough to come up for air. Needless to say she didn't get involved with boat handling and watches or food for that matter. I was single handing Pacifico, from casting off to anchoring, which I'm OK with and being the nurse maid to a sickie!
The run to Punta Ipala was only about 48 nm and around Cabo Corrientes, which is similar in effect to Point Conception. We had watched our weather and had a good window so it was an easy ride across Bahia Bandaras at a heading of about 220° to reach the cape. There is a strong opposing current that takes effect as you near the cape. The current coming up the coast from Manzanillo is a counter current in that it runs generally south to north along the coast. I could definitely see the influence of the current on our headway, no so much slowing us, but generally pushing us towards shore. We rounded the cape at about 4 nm off, then down the last 14 nm to Punta Ipala and the little beach community of Tehuamixtle.
It was an odd feeling traveling in company with another boat after almost 1200 nm of going it alone. We had met other boats and made friends, but we did not "buddy boat" in that you travel with and stay in close proximity with that boat. We had rather by coincidence had similar itinerary plans and would meet up at some destinations and that was only after Mazatlan. It was doubly odd in that we were now talking on the radio with Oceanside friends, Mike, Bill and Cindy with whom we boat regularly at home. I was looking at the scenery and charts and wondering if we had ever really left home waters! It was a strange feeling. All that said "buddy boating" has its advantages. While making the crossing of Bahia Bandaras we encountered several inbound cruise ships, the really big ones. Anyway, I was on deck and had been watching intently. It was either the third or fourth one that was well off our starboard bow, with rights, when I got a radio call from So Inclined asking me if I was aware of that ship. I thought I was, but had apparently fallen asleep and it was now much, much closer! I'll give Bill credit for making the call, it was close, how close it would have become thankfully we won't know!
We anchored behind the small point with So Inclined and I stayed aboard Pacifico with Marisa while the crew of So Inclined dinghied to shore to explore. I could see with my binoculars that there were three bar restaurants and a few other buildings. It looked small but more substantial than some of the larger beach palapa bar scenarios we had experienced and appears to be not only a small fishing village, but a small beach resort destination for locals. There was no internet access again, and as a post note to La Cruz we had little or no internet access the last few days there as well. It seems there was a problem with the system at the marina, oh well, the same thing happens at home too.
The anchorage at Ipala was small, hampered with fish pens and was rolly because of the wave effect coming around the point. This place is an OK stop to break up the trip south, but not a great place to stay. We had anchored out farther than necessary and had to put out the flopper stopper to settle the boat down, Marisa was sick enough and the extra motion didn't help. We left with So Inclined at 0600 hrs, Friday 12/31/10, the last day of the year for Bahia Chamela, about 50 nm further south and east down the coast.
12/28/2010, La Cruz
Greetings again from La Cruz. We opted to spend Christmas Day here in the marina and not travel to Nuevo Vallarta to avoid any potential transportation issues. The bus service is quite good here, but from the main highway out to the resort area where the marinas are located in Nuevo Vallarta we were not so sure of the Holiday schedules and were concerned about the return trip at night. We celebrated Christmas morning with breakfast at a local place called "The Organic Café," which is also an art gallery and a little jazz club, not that they were playing any jazz in the morning, but the place is quite nice and had free Wi-Fi. There we were, six middle aged people sitting at a table and five of six were on lap tops! It was really fun to make a call to the grand kids with a video monitor via Skype. If you have not opened a Skype account consider it as an option worth exploring also very cheap. We spent the remainder of the day catching up on phone calls home to family and friends, and to get a little rest after all the last minute Christmas shopping on Friday. We were invited to a real home style Christmas dinner with turkey and all the good stuff aboard Swift Current that afternoon. I volunteered to bring desert, and what could be more fitting than flan? We had it aboard and it turned out to be a real hit, but what to share for an appetizer? I'm thinking: OK, what do I have that I can take to the party? Well of course, tuna. I was going to cut some up in chunks and Bar-b-que them but then decided to 'try' to get fancy. I'm thinking some kind of flaky, tuna encased little bite sized things. Well, long story short they turned out to be biscuits with bits of tuna inside. Pretty funny, way too much bread, but not bad, or at least everyone was polite and said they were "really good." OK, I'll stick to cooking and leave the baking to someone else. Anyway, it was a feast and one of the best tasting turkeys I have ever eaten, so thanks to Lynn and Howard for including us along with their other friends.
OK, now for the dirt. The day after Christmas we traveled down to Nuevo Vallarta to the Paradise Village Marina to meet the crews of Sirocco and So Inclined. We made the trip and figured out how to get from the main highway out to their location. We met up on Sirocco and got to see Bob Ray just before he flew home. After chips, salsa and a beer we made it over to the resort's pool area, where some of us got into the hot tub or pool, and others of us napped in the sun on the pool loungers, (that would be me, so I'm absent in those photos). After a little mall shopping we hopped into dinghies and headed up the channel into the mangroves in search of a place called, Fajita Republic. We found it and what a great choice that was! Lee said the credit goes to John Erhardt for the referral, so thanks John!
We took the boat over to the fuel dock Monday morning to fuel up to get ready for the next leg, then out into the bay for a motor sail to make water, pump out our holding tank and just to throw off the dock lines. It was pretty uneventful ride except we were once again treated with a great whale show and pretty close by too. After that it was back to the dock for more boat work and to start provisioning. Our water consumption has been greater than we can keep up with, with our on board water maker. It is a Katadyn 80E and makes 3.5 gph. We only make water when out in open, clean ocean water and we needed it. Still didn't make enough so ended up buying 10 & 20 liter jugs and lugging them back to the boat. That's the kind of stuff that fills your days, but not today, Tuesday. Today we hired a local boat cleaning and maintenance crew and we took the day off and went by bus to downtown Puerto Vallarta. Marisa had not been there so we went sightseeing and did a little shopping and tequila tasting. It was a long day and we walked for miles before finding the bus connection to head back home to La Cruz. We both agreed La Cruz is the place to be and the boat looked great when we got back! How easy was that?
Tomorrow, Wednesday, So Inclined will be joining us here in La Cruz. Bill and Cindy Rousch, Oceanside friends have joined Mike for a week and they have not been to La Cruz yet, so what better day than for Tacos on the Street!
All in all it's been a good few days with the day time temperatures holding at about 75°, clear and sunny. Speaking of that, we need to get moving south. The weather reports are that it is about 10° warmer overall down in Zihuatanejo, our ultimate destination. The plan is to leave early on the morning of the 30th with So Inclined. We will head southwest to Cabo Corrientes, which is about 27 nm across the large expanse of Bahia Banderas and by passing Yelapa until the return trip north in Spring, then down the coast south and east towards Chamela. Chamela is about 100 nm from La Cruz and we may break it up with an overnight stop at Ipala for the first day's leg which will be about 50 nm. We are leaving what they call Mexico's Coasta del Oro, Gold Coast, and heading down their Coastalegre, Happy Coast. I've also heard of that area as being referred to as the Gold Coast as well but happy or gold that's the way we are going, but that's not for another day yet. Hang on Mike and Julie, we're coming!
Tell that monkey to get his act together, or you'll have him shipped back to colder latitudes!
12/25/2010, La Cruz
Merry Christmas from La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, Nayarit, Mexico, in Bahia de Bandaras, which is about 10 miles from Puerto Vallarta. We are now in a slip at the Marina Rivera Nayarit here in La Cruz. Nice place, reasonably priced, actually quite reasonable, new and modern facilities. The little town here is pretty cool; it is not a tourist Mecca, almost no hotels and no big ones, or big stores either. All our groceries come from "arraborates" which are little grocery stores located on almost every block. Most people here have little or no refrigeration and shop daily. There are "carnecerías", tortillerías and panaderillas along with other services, barbers, beauty salons and of course restaurants and cantinas disbursed liberally, mostly for us gringos. This little community has a small fishing fleet, but generally seems to be a suburb of the greater P.V. area with a principle source of income from facilitating the marina and cruising community. The streets are beach or river rock stone set in a deliberate pattern. Many of the homes and businesses are kept clean and painted but like in any area without zoning restrictions the neighborhoods can be an eclectic lot. There seems to be quite a few ex-pats here on a full time basis and quite a few local businesses that cater to us cruising tourists are owned by those folks.
We arrived here on Sunday, December 19 after a short 8 nm passage from Punta Mita. We had arrived there from Guyabitos the day before but it was a pretty rolly anchorage so we left the next morning. We anchored out here in the open anchorage with about 30 other boats, including Sirocco and So Inclined. It was good to catch up with them again and because it was Sunday we all took our dinghies ashore and went to "Tacos on the Street" a local restaurant that is only open four evenings a week and serves a limited menu of rib-eye steak tacos, quesadillas and tostados and they do it well. We have included a few photos of the place in our photo album from La Cruz that Marisa has already posted. If you ever get the chance it's really good, cheap and fun. They only serve soft drinks but you are welcome to supply your own beverage of choice. It's so good that the tourists from PV come up and there is a line out front to get in, but since it's an open air kinda place there is no door and they put tables in the street for the over flow. Like everywhere, here the custom is not to rush the patrons out by bringing them their bill, you don't get "la cuenta" unless you ask for it and you can sit and talk after dinner without concern. It is a refreshing custom, but I understand why it can't work that way at home.
We have spent several days working on the boat, getting things cleaned up, laundry and a few repairs and projects as well as exploring La Cruz. The marina here has worked hard to entice the anchored fleet into the marina with discounted rates and services. There is a wonderful bar/restaurant atop their facility that has hosted a happy hour daily. Despite these efforts this marina is only about 2/3 full at the most. On Tuesday, 12/21 we cruised out to the Tres Marietta's Islands that are about 10 miles out into the bay from here to meet So Inclined. On the way we were trolling with a blue green Rapala Magnum lure and hit pay dirt. With some considerable effort we landed a 32" yellow tail that weighed about 25-30 lbs. Once we got it to the boat it wasn't easy to get it aboard or finding deck space to clean it. Pacifico is a small sail boat set up for cruising and with a surf board and now a paddle board on the rail, a kayak tied to the deck and towing a dinghy. Figuring out how to land it, then clean it, took a while, but it was fun! We ended up with several large zip lock bags full of fish! By the time we got to the islands it was almost time to go. We dropped a "lunch hook" paddled over to So Inclined to see Mike, Amanda and Abe for lunch and it was time to leave. No snorkeling that day.
I've spoken about security issues here in Mexico previously. While I'm not naive or think that bad things don't happen down here most of the bad news that is reported at home is pretty specific to areas involved with narcotics trafficking. Generally people here are typically friendly, giving and remarkably generous with what little they have to share. As an example; last year when I was here with Sirocco we went into a little abarrotes and the owner asked if we wanted to share his lunch of ceviche that his wife had sent with him. He gave us crackers and hot sauce off his shelves as well. No charge! Today on the bus the lady next to us was helpful answering as best she could our questions about where to find certain products. She opened a bag of chocolates for her kids and shared them with us. Not only that, but when we got off the bus, she had her daughter take one of the bags Marisa was carrying and carry it for her. Later we went into that same abarrote and yep, that same clerk/owner was there. This time he was sharing a bottle of tequilla that he was taking home for his Christmas party, opened it and poured everyone shots!
With all the rain at home, people keep asking us what's the weather been like here? Typically it has been warm, mid to upper 70s, mostly clear with sometimes a little haze and no rain. We have been having a typical land effected sea breeze with an off shore flow in the early morning and on shore flow in the afternoons, up to 18 knots the day we came back from Tres Mariettas, so pretty nice for sailing. We have not seen any rain since we left Oceanside, November 16! The nights have been typically upper 60s, nice for sleeping. There has been quite a bit of humidity and we have wet decks in the mornings, which is good because when you're anchored out you can take a towel and clean the boat! The night of the lunar eclipse was clear and we had a great view of that event. I set the alarm for midnight and we watched it without getting out of bed, just opened the forward hatch over the V berth and looked up, dozing off and on until it was in full effect at a little after 0200 here. Also, this area adjusts their clocks to Central Time, so we are two hours ahead of the West Coast.
Today, Friday, Christmas Eve day we jumped on the bus towards PV to do some shopping, our first time in real stores in a couple of weeks and we needed some re-provisioning. There is a new Wal-Mart in Nuevo Vallarta that was our first destination, and then on the way back we stopped at Mega, a large Mexican grocery store chain outlet in Bucerais. You have to remember that this is all by bus, carrying everything that you purchase, we're learning to choose wisely. We couldn't find a couple of items, but had to get back to pick up our laundry before they closed for Christmas. Yes, we did a lot of it ourselves, but did take some bulky stuff in for service. Remember, when we wash it on the boat it has to fit on the life lines along the rail for drying, which is difficult with sheets and the like. Anyway after lugging all that back to the boat we jumped on a bus and headed back to Bucerais for one last attempt at finding a few things, just like Christmas shopping at home! All settled in and back at the boat we bumped into a Christmas Eve dock party. The cruising life style, that's where your days go!

Here's a picture of the 32" tuna that Dave caught 2 days ago. Dave plans to write a blog later tonight, so stay tuned....
Hola from Guaybitos
We are at anchor just off the point of Rincon de Guaybitos. Actually the cruising guides refer to this area as Bahia de Jaltemba, but there are three separate communities, Ayala, Rinon de Guaybitos and Jaltemba, and the guides don't do them justice. We arrived early the afternoon of the 16th from Chacala after a leisurely 8 nm run down the coast, motoring slowly in zero wind and flat seas to take longer and allow us to charge batteries and make water. After arriving we have spoken to a few American and Canadian "locals", who are here for the winter months and got the lay of the land from them.
This place reportedly was developed as a resort destination for the Mexican populations from Guadalajara and Mexico City, then discovered by the Americans, later to be forgotten by us and taken over by the Canadians, but again now seems largely abandoned and left to the Mexicans. It is well developed with small hotels and restaurants along the beaches of each community. Our primary cruising guide, "Pacific Mexico" by Breeding and Bansmer give this place a decent review, Rains "Mexico Boating Guide" gives it about one paragraph and "Charlie's" description is OK, but we think none of them individually or collectively really do it justice. Anyway, we found this to be a "delightful" spot. We took the dinghy into Guaybitos yesterday and found the small community quite clean and user friendly. Sadly, this place like everywhere we are stopping is not very busy. I have to assume that their tourism is off down here because of the overall state of the economy and to the negative press the US media is churning out regarding personal security in Mexico. Everyone we have encountered down here says the same thing; that generally Mexico is being unnecessarily beaten up with negative hype. People have been really wonderful thus far and we feel very safe.
It's fun when you wake up in the morning and hear all the beach activities, tourists are the same everywhere. The Mexican music starts early and it's fun, not the rap type "boom-boom" stuff of Cabo. We are anchored about ¼ mile off the beach, maybe a little further, but you can't tell from your GPS because the coast line is not accurately depicted. According to the new Garmin chip I have we are on dry ground and my other one is very vague with little coastal charting detail. You really have to watch your depth sounder when working your way in to anchor. We dropped our hook in 10 feet of water and again here it has been calm, light breezes, perfect temps and no bugs. There are only two other boats here with us and no one at either of the other two area anchorages. Howard and Lynn, our Canadian cruising friends, and another boat that looks like a single hander who has kept to himself are here.
We are close enough to row the dinghy everywhere, for the exercise and this morning Marisa and I paddled the kayak and paddle board around the point to the beach at Ayala. We found it even nicer there than here, it's much smaller, the beach and water seem cleaner. We took a mid day paddle break and shared a "Ballena" at a beach cantina and a skewer of bar-b-que shrimps, just like in the cruising guide photos! We made an appointment with Howard and Lynn to have dinner Friday in town at one of two places recommended by one of the locals we met. It turns out we actually found it, restaurant "El Campanario" and it was fabulous! Clean, great food at a good price (about $35 US for shrimp dinners with wine), and live music too. We are still having problems connecting with Wi Fi to the internet. We can pick up a lot of signals but again we are finding that they are all locked and this time we did not find one on the beach that we could buy a beer and get the code from; I guess we need to buy more beer? It seems that they have learned down here that their Wi-Fi signal is something that they can make a few pesos on and have largely locked them up. Bummer.
A technical note for our readers. Our solar panels seem to be producing about 4- 6 amps with a maximum observed of 7, which is good. We had hoped for more 7 or 8, closer to max, but that's probably hoping for too much. What a great deal, thanks Tim & Michelle for turning us on to them and to Mark and Bill for their assistance in setting them up. We will have to post a couple of photos of the tilting mounting arrangement. Also, a plug for interior solar lighting: We got a tip from Buzz and Deb (Eos) on B-dock at home about the interior lighting they were using. It turns out they got the tip from Mike and Julie (Slacker) who were when last heard from down in Tenacatita. Anyway, the tip is the product Sensibulb, LED light bulbs for your boat. A great product that produces a really good, clean and powerful LED energy efficient light source for replacement in your existing cabin fixture lights. Great tip, wish I had purchased more. Thanks guys!
We have enjoyed this stretch of coast but we will be leaving this anchorage tomorrow, Saturday, and heading the 20 or so miles down the coast to Punta Mita. We are looking forward to getting to Bandaras Bay to hook up with Sirocco and So Inclined and hopefully into the marina at La Cruz for Christmas. Who knows, C-Monkey may even come to see us for the holidays? We kinda miss that little chimp, although our banana consumption has gone way down.
Catch up with you soon!
Really enjoying your blog. It's reconnecting my feelings of cruising fulltime. The pictures are great and having the captions are helpful in understanding what's going on. Anything I can do to research the wiring on the solar panels?
Be safe and enjoy.
Fred & Jeanette
Thanks for technical details on the solar stuff, I enjoy that kind of stuff. You are probably not getting max because the panels are not pointing directly at the sun, just a guess.
$35 US for that dinner, it would be twice that here

12/15/2010, Mexico
Greetings from Chacala, 21°09,802N/105°13,677W
It is amazing how much there is to do living aboard a cruising boat. I have not started one book yet. Where do the days go? After spending all morning on projects we were ready to head off by 1400. With the anchor up we started out of the bay with the afternoon breeze filling in, more than we had seen in days. Shortly we had 14-16 knots of wind and a wind chop running at us from the WNW. As things go we could not take advantage of it and just sail because we needed to charge and to make water. We were motor sailing once again, but at a good clip making 7 knots at a heading of 168°. It was nice to feel the boat healing and being drawn through the water instead of pushed. It didn't last long and within two hours we were rolling up the jib and motor sailing under main only.
We were basically paralleling the coast at about one to two miles off the beach. You could see that the terrain was changing from the flat swamp lands behind the beach to hills with cliff faces and bluffs breaking up the long beaches. Coconut palm trees and green vegetation grow right down to the beach and no one is around. Pretty soon a few nice looking homes started to appear on the cliffs overlooking the coast; nice views. We were treated to a whale show about half the way to Chacala. I looked behind us and saw white water. We watched a little longer and a whale came blasting up out of the water, just like in the insurance commercial. He came down with a big splash. Then another, then another, it was cool especially since they were a quarter mile away! That went on for several minutes. I don't know why they breach like that. I've read that some speculate that they are playing, others say it's like scratching your back. I don't know but it is cool to see. Sorry, no photos but Marisa saw it too so it's verified.
It is only about 23 nm to Chacala and we arrived before sunset. Love the short hops! Chacala is a small bay, very open to the WSW. There is a hilly point at the northern end with a rocky coast line. As the bay curves around the coast the shoreline broadens into a nice sand beach, with yep, coconut palms and several small beach palapa restaurants and a small hotel. The small village is behind the beach and there are several nice homes along the hills to the point. It is very different here from Mantanchen Bay, much smaller and you can see that the influence of foreign dollars are in effect here. Our cruising guide book calls this place the "quintessential anchorage people dream about." Not completely sure of that but it is really nice. It also says it is a rolly anchorage, and it is. We set a stern anchor to keep us bow out into the swell. Unfortunately I didn't give it enough scope and it drug during the night. We woke up rolling beam to the swells as it seems the anchor reset itself at just the right point to put us beam to the seas. Once that was reset and with more scope we were good to go. I said this bay is open to the ocean, yesterday there was a whale inside the bay cruising around. It is not deep so he didn't stay long, but has been spotted a couple of times working across the entrance.
Cruisers Mark and Anne on Blue Rodeo were here when we arrived and Howard and Lynn on Swift Current arrived the following day. We were anchored very close to the dinghy landing spot on the northern end of the bay and we rowed the dinghy, no need to even put the engine on at these distances, besides, it's good exercise. We rowed to shore and walked the beach to the furthest cantina. Great chips and salsa, cold beer and a nice fish of the day ala Mexicana dinner, catch of the day: Mahi-mahi or Dorado down here. We were invited to Swift Current for a pot-luck along with Mark and Anne that evening. The following day we used the paddle board and kayak and were joined by both the other crews as well. We made a "beach landing" with our mini net book in what turned out to be a not so water tight bag and went into the little hotel palapa bar/restaurant because they advertised "Wi-Fi". As it turned out there was just a drop or two in the bag and no damage. We had not been able to hook up to any free Wi-Fi in days. A cold one and $20 pesos for 30 minutes allowed us to post our last blog and quickly check email. Did I say the weather and water are almost perfect?
That night, Tuesday, 12/14 we were invited to dinner aboard Blue Rodeo along with Howard and Lynn. We had a nice evening and have enjoyed our new cruising friends company. Blue Rodeo is leaving Wednesday for Punta Mita, about 40 nm further and the first anchorage inside Bahia Bandaras. We intend to make the 8 nm hop over to Bahia Jaltembra to spend a few days in that area before going to Punta Mita ourselves. From our discussions it sounds like all three boats will end up at La Cruz before Christmas.
We are up early, listened to the Amigo net on SSB radio for any weather up-dates, work on our blog and photos to get caught up in that department, a few boat projects this morning, then row to shore to go into the village for lunch today and possibly head over to Jalembra after that. We met a Canadian couple at Las Brisas yesterday who as it turns out were just taking a day tour up from Jalembra where they stay every winter for 5 months. They gave us some good inside information on that area and it looks good on the cruising charts as well. There are a couple of small off shore islands close in, in the bay as well as several distinct small communities, all similar to Chacala so a variety of anchorages and beach venues to choose from.
We appreciate your comments and hope that you are enjoying what we are doing too! Take care and we will post from Jaltembra in a couple of days.
Hi Again,
I just wanted to say HI from home. I had previously tried to find your blog but was told you were on Lee and Cathy's. The rear stairs at the club are about complete and they look great. We are having a raftup at the JR Dock on 1/29/11 and you will be missed. Dave I am glad you are keeping up with your cooking skills over on Sirocco. It looks like the Oceanside Boaters are having a great time and eating well. Keep having fun and be safe.
Chic & Judy

The first day of school for Meridian and Lauderdale County Thursday means that buses will again be transporting children. Safety officials are working to make 2002-2003 an accident-free year.
Drivers for the Meridian Public School District attended a last safety meeting before the beginning of the school year. Officials say it's the most important responsibility the district has.
Transportation Director Jayson Chisolm urged all drivers to be extra careful because buses will be rolling, shortly after 6:00 a.m. Thursday.
"Use extra caution when students are loading and unloading, because this is the most dangerous zone," said Chisolm.
School safety director Dr. Sam Thompson said parents and guardians can also help keep the kids safe.
"Keeping students from getting to the bus stop too early can help protect them from predators," said Thompson. "And we welcome parents to call us and work with us in making bus stops and schools safer."

Please place these 10 various acoustic guitar qualities in descending priority order of importance to you:
-Brand name
-Materials (tone woods, etc.)
-Initial Cost
-Resale value
-Overall value for the money
-other (describe)
Views: 653
Sound 1st and foremost
Playability 1st and foremost
yeah... 2 first and foremosts yeah.... Pick one and if it good I will bet the other follows. Good sounding guitars will be easy to play, easy to play than I would bet it sounds pretty good.
Materials/Construction/Durability - any of these cheap - everything above this will show it
looks - most guitars look like... ummmmm a guitar.
These last three only matter if your poor. Bill Gates wouldn't care nor would Leo Kottke.
Total Valus/Resale value
Brand - If I had put brand above any of these I would have never bought my Seagull and my Seagull sounds and plays as well as any guitar twice its value.
My 2.5 Cents(now endangered item) worth:
-Materials (tone woods, etc.)
-other (Location made, I will always pick local product way over anything foreign made.)
-Overall value for the money
-Initial Cost
-Brand name
-Resale value (I never buy anything with a view to ever selling it)
For me I think that the order is sound, playability, material, workmanship, looks, then price. I prefer guitars that are solid wood rather than plywood because I know that they sound better the more they are played. These days I also look at where they are made, with the economy like it is I prefer guitars made in North America.
-Initial Cost (it's no good to me if I can't afford it--That is not to say that it is not a good guitar, its just not good to me)
-Looks (life's too short to play an ugly guitar)
-Materials (tone woods, etc.)
-Durability ( the more I learn about guitars the higher on the list this becomes)
-Brand name ( I really don't know where to put this one so I'll leave it in the middle)
--Overall value for the money - when you start spending over 600, to me this goes up higher on the list
-other - Box shape or "fit" when in the playing position - no fun if it hurts your shoulder to play it.
-Playability (to a point I can have that fixed by a luthier, but box size and shape is important- see other)
-Resale value (a guitar to me is a 'sound' investment not a monetary one)
This is tougher than I had thought. When I started my quest for a replacement guitar, Seagull was an unknown to me. But after a little research it became the main pursuit. Then after playing one and buying it, I feel the need to put Brand higher on the list…but my heart tells me that brand doesn't matter so much as the sound I hear. Seagull rates well for me because they make an instrument with a great tone and I can afford them. So how does that factor in?

A small problem since migration : we have a domain (foo.com) and the account email@example.com is redirected to another server (helpdesk software) on a subdomain : @support.foo.com.
Redirection is done using dns/mx (on the zimbra server).
Now if I use classic linux mail on the zimbra server (email@example.com) it get's there ! But if I add the entry firstname.lastname@example.com to the forward element of the Zimbra account, it's my ISP smtp that tells me it's unknown.. considering that this is internal I quite agree It seems that Zimbra sends it out into the wild
What am I doing wrong ?
Many thanks

Spring is one of the most beautiful times of the year in Japan. All along the country, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom—pink flowers so beautiful that throughout the country, viewing parties and festivals sprout up, drawing national attention and crowds of tourists.
John Alexander, MD, writes about this colorful scene from his hotel room. He retains his outsider's appreciation for it, having never lived in Japan. But he certainly spends enough time there: He's worked at Sankyo Pharma for seven years, and each month, he takes the day-long journey from New Jersey to the company's headquarters in Tokyo.
It couldn't continue to compete that way. So in September 2005, Sankyo announced its intent to merge with another Japanese company to form a new company, Daiichi Sankyo. On April 1, 2006, at the height of cherry blossom season—which has become synonymous with new beginnings—the new entity of Daiichi Sankyo was born in the United States. By next April, the companies expect the integration in Japan to be completed.
Critics have voiced their concerns. They say Sankyo had a more promising pipeline than Daiichi, particularly because of the anti-platelet agent prasugrel. They also say the combined portfolio can't justify the company's plans for growth. The two companies are just following on the heels of the Fujisawa/Yamanouchi merger to form Astellas, some critics say, without carefully considering the consequences.
But John Alexander, with nearly 30 years of drug development experience, doesn't pay heed to the critics. Instead, he sees Daiichi Sankyo as a cardiovascular and anti-infective powerhouse, and is staying focused on what may be the most important task of a merger: the delicate art of integrating the research operations of two companies. Here, Alexander talks about the goals of the merger, the progress thus far, and shares insight into the development plans for prasugel.
