Chris,

Is that a "live" feed?  Is Enosis the sailboat with the mast a rockin'?  :-)

Beautiful marina and great story.  Enjoy!

Hey Hank,
Thanks for the heads up below is the correct link.  Alice wanted me to remind everyone it is a work in progress so there are some mistakes and inconsistencies but they will be fixed soon.  Also we should be more timely on the Mexico stuff................ I hope.

www.sailingenosis.weebly.com

This should be the right URL.  Also you can go to :
http://www.lookr.com/lookout/1329870616#action-play-day and see the boat
(well sort of).   We are on the fourth dock towards the mountains Right
hand side 1st boat from the end on on the camera side of the dock.  Looks like we are going to make the crossing overnight/day starting around 2 am on Thursday.
