January 17-20: Just a little trip north to Espiritu Santo and had a small bay all to ourselves for three days! It's a long narrow bay, so difficult for more than one boat. Just relaxed. The last two nights had the cormuel swells roll in which made for a rolly night, up and down to check the anchor a lot. Always worry about drifting....not a good thing to run aground! Beautiful bay, had a beach tour for lunch and sun. From the beach, you can see T de T at anchor. It's a big, shallow shoal and why we can't get any closer. Our boat draws 6 feet, meaning the keel hangs down pretty low and would drag. Came back to the marina for a week as a big wind predicted, which did come through with lotsa wind and a little rain.
How did I ever forget Kirk? And there's Vicky's dog, dishes, awaiting a snack under Kirk's cocktail table....Yum!
Tanque de Tiburon is a Morgan 43 sailboat with lots of wonderful history, good friends and good times. Thanks to Earl and maria, Ginger and Tom, we now sail their boat!
Tanque de Tiburon translates to Sharktank. The "shark" came from Linda's Parrot Head name as a nurse that dives i.e."Nurseshark". Bill's Parrot Head name is "Tanker6" from his USMC Tanker history, of course. Hence, Shark + Tank....
Bill is retired from the Marine Corps and Linda is a retired Army Nurse. When not on the boat in the Sea of Cortez, they reside in Sierra Vista, Arizona, their Koi pond and their Sonoran desert tortoise, Genie.
Between the two, there are 5 adult children, some spouses and now 9 grandchildren spread out between California, Arizona, Georgia and Texas!
Both are retired although Linda still very rarely dabbles in nursing or related counseling for boat sheckles. Check out her website:
