Spent xmas eve on the beach at a nice palpa eating roast chicken, fish tacos and drinking margaritas and Pina coladadas out of hollowed out Pineapples. A big surf pounded in making for another wet dinghy landing. A waiter from one of the beach front restaurants ran into the water to take our line and to pull the dink ashore. As usual Jan and marina got a bit wetter then they wanted. Lots of Mexican tourist on holidays arrived and departed by pangas and motor cats, most getting wetter than perhaps they had planned also. Mostly families with young children who appeared to be new to the beach scene as they appeared to be intimidated by the foaming water. It was a nice evening on the beach with waves often racing up the sands to washer around the legs of some of the dinning tables. 

Jan did not sleep well last night, a bit rollier than the previous nights, may have to up anchor and find quieter waters for a few days so Jan can rest up before we make the push to cross the Gulf.

Can’t get internet cell service in this bay nor can I make a connection through the ham radio. Would like to send out the xmas emails we wrote and to tell the kids that we are alright. But more importantly I need a weather report which I can’t get either. May have to hike into town , or at least to the top of the nearby mountain with my cell and laptop.
