From Banderas Bay, Mexico, we wish our family and friends – both far and near – a very merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah and fabulous 2012.
Last winter – latitude 47°40’N 
Snow at Shilshole Bay Marina in Seattle
This winter – latitude 20°44’N:
Sunshine at Marina Riviera Nayarit in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, Mexico
Of course I had to bring the tree! Notice the guy-wires at the top to keep it from tipping over when we’re underway. The tree made it all the way from La Paz (in 25 knots of wind with 8-9’ seas on a beam reach) without losing even one ornament or tipping over… nice!
Merry Christmas to you folks; and a Happy Tropical 2012!
ReplyDeleteLove the tree!! One of my very favorite Christmases was in sunshiny South Africa - enjoy your warm and sunny holidays, and we wish you a wonderful 2012!
ReplyDeleteYou had the exact same post in your head as I did. Tomorrow you'll see almost the same thing on our blog!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Aaron and Nichole, there is no snow here on Vancouver Island but it is a lot cooler and wetter than Bahia de Banderas is right now ! May 2012 be warm and as windy as you want it to be.
