Starting off

Well first full day in Loreto.  A very tranquillo town of about 15,000 (according to the 2010 census) with what feels like 7500 retired americans and canadians.  Sadly we discovered the Gypsy Queen is moored about 10 miles away in Puerto Escondido.  Needless to say this presented some logistical hassles that were surmounted by renting a car.  So we are the proud rentors of a Dodge Attitude which seems humoruous but somehow appropriate 

but with outfitting and driving back and forth to town the Attitude should be perfect. 

The Queen is moored on a bouy out in the marina so the first order of the day was to get a ride out to the Queen and unload the dingy and set it up so we can actually get to her. 

There was a slight learning curve on putting the dingy together as it had been 4 years or so but in the end we had a servicable if not slightly saggy inflatable boat set up.   Bob and I collected some things off the boat, gas and water cans, etc and set off for the shore to get ready for the next day.

We'll see when we leave but we are hoping for Tuesday for the shakedown.
