Miscellaneous Crew Photos:

The admiral and the captain, zooming up a river through a mangrove swamp in Tenacatita.  The admiral thinks the captain is going too fast.

Lou and Mary onboard Ace in Costa Rica, celebrating one year of cruising.

Emily and Martin doing their stuff.

Mary and Martin having fun in a bar in Barra de Navidad.  If you’re getting the impression that we hang out in a lot of bars, I swear it just isn’t true.  We just seem to take pictures in bars.

Emily swinging from the rigging, one of her favorite activities

The funkiest retro bar this side of Cuba.  Bar Social in Manzanillo serves inexpensive drinks (to kids too!), and fills the table with delicious appetizers and sea food, at no cost!  We each had a drink in the early afternoon, and ate enough so we didn’t need dinner that evening.  They also had a pianist taking requests.  I don’t know how they do it, but it looks like they’ve been doing it for a long time.

Martin Heeney Dietz, on the street in San Patricio de Melaque, where they have a big St Pat’s celebration with fireworks.  Apparently the town is inhabited by the descendants of  some Irish mercenaries who liked Mexico, switched sides (I don’t know what war!), and settled here.  We didn’t see too many Irish-looking locals, though.
