"A Day at the Beach in Los Gatos and the Great Dinghy Adventure"
John, Tony, and Sue brought the kayak down to the beach so we could all head over to Los Gatos. We tied the kayak to the back of the dinghy and off we went. We had a great time sitting on the beach, drinking beer, snorkeling, drinking beer, Mac having a "grandma fix", and drinking more beer. On the way back Sue took the kayak and the rest of us got into the dink, and then the fun began. While trying to reposition weight in the dinghy Tony moved towards the front. Now we had too much weight in the front and the bow went under filling the boat with water. Quickly realizing what happened Tony moved back at which time the bow bounced up out of the water sending John and Mac flying. They both ended up in the water..........so with the dinghy 3/4 full of water the rescue began. John got back in the dinghy but it took me 5 mins. to stop laughing, and you all know how I can laugh, so they could get me back in the boat. We pumped the water out and were again on our way, laughing all they way back to Madera beach.
Of course we had lots of good food, drink, and merriment. One morning Alan cooked eggs Benedict, with the help of John and Tony.
And of course, there was music........we all attended the CD release party for Jimmy Mamou with some dancing and great times.
Alan had fun playing at open mike while Maggie had fun sleeping in his guitar case.
All too soon it was our last evening with John and Steph. They took us to one of our favorite restaurants, Coconuts, to help them celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary. We ate, drank wine, and talked for 3 1/2 hours..........what a great time and such a nice way to end our time here in wonderful Zihuatanejo. Of course the evening had to end with Mexican coffee. The show is something everyone has to experience at least once. John and Steph flew home on Saturday and Effie & crew will be heading further south on Monday.
