From others viewpoint, this lifestyle
may appear paradise, and sometimes it is, but is not all moonlight, margaritas,
and mariachis. Ours is a simpler life, but it takes more effort to
get things done. I love it, but sometimes I get tired. We have
always know that we would not be “forever” cruisers, after a few
years, I want to settle down in a land house close to my family.
Leaving family and friends is probably the toughest part for me, with
a close second of not being settled in one place for very long.
When Marcus hurt his back, and it
looked like we may not be able to take the boat out, I started to
think. He hates it when I do that, because you never know what kind
of ideas might start germinating, sometimes they are sheer genius (in
my humble opinion) sometimes they are ravings of a lunatic. What if
we just stay here and rent a house for the winter . . .hmmm what kind
of house/apartment can we rent here and what will it cost? This is
not a new idea, but it was gaining ground with our potential setback.
We looked at a couple of places, two of them looked right over the
bahia where all the sailboats were anchored out. AHHH it was so
wonderful! Upscale gringo community and small, but nice and about
$800 per month. This is a little expensive in Mexico, and for us,
but as in real estate everywhere, location location location.
Now I am really thinking hard about
just renting a place and staying for the winter, but Marcus is now
recovering, so we make plans to head out. I'm feeling down, just not
up for the challenges ahead. One of the up sides of cruising is
meeting new friends, on the other hand, you may leave right after you
start getting to know them. I get moody, and neither Marcus nor I
like living with me very much. It will pass, and the sun will shine
again.
