Birthday in Mexico

Tequilas in La PazWe originally thought it would be fun to leave for the Pacific on my birthday because it is a Friday (violating superstition) but it was a bit too early for departure. On a side note, we had also really hoped for a Friday the 13th for either our Southbound departure or the Pacific departure but no dice yet.

Instead, I was able to celebrate my birthday in La Paz, surprise party style thanks to Carol, with SVs Eagle, Pyxis and Celestial and Marcelle. Note: All group shots courtesy of Tom on SV Eagle.

There were beers. More beers and Italian food. A serenade at the bar and to end things off, most excellent ice cream.

Everyone brought sweet gifts but I had to highlight the life preserver that I was given by Eva and James on Pyxis. Not only is it an actual Type IV flotation device, decorated with zebra print, it had a number of excellent abandon ship items sewn to and the lat/long of a number of important ports written on the side. Which abandon ship item is your favorite?

Thank you everyone for making another birthday on the road a special day!

  1. Happy Birthday Livia, wonder where you will be for the next one. Those rainy days in the Bunsby Islands seem like a life time ago.

  4. Is that crazy glue in there? That would be my favorite. Every time something tears or cracks around here I ask Dave if we can use the Crazy Glue.
    Happy Birthday Livia - safe travels!
