Careful what you ask for...

The first week of business has passed us by, and our first wave of guests have already departed. The wind returned with a vengeance at about 2 o'clock this morning, but it came out of the mountains from the West and blew straight offshore all day. The wind line remained just outside the fishing boats. It made for very tricky launching and landing, so only the most intrepid, and skilled, sailors ventured out on the water.

Tonight we had one of those special moments when the full moon rises out of the Sea of Cortez just as the sun sets in the Sierra de la Laguna to the West. The cloud cover made for some spectacular colors. Everyone put down their croquet mallets and margaritas and cheered at the sight.

The final shipment of bicycles and windsurfing equipment finally showed up just after dark this evening. The new retail shop is now open. Marlise has been working very hard to get it filled with this year's t-shirts, hoodies, bikinis, and caps. Finch rigged a car stereo to a marine battery in the window of the store, so now we have music playing all day. Everything is settling into place nicely for the season...
