what not will slow them down and maybe they'll go somewhere else if they see them while "casing the place." I like the bear spray and have often thought of picking some up. I think I'll move that up a few lines on my list. We are in San Diego for the season. Denny had to have some surgery. She's fine now but it's to soon to head out yet. In a few months we might have a ride to New Zealand on a 70 footer and by that time she'll be good to go. Once we get through the canal we would like to do the East Coast and the Bahamas again. That's a couple of years out because we would like to spend some time in and around Panama and Columbia first. It seems that every time we go somewhere, instead of checking it off our bucket list, we find something else to add. We planned on being through Mexico in one season but we got caught in the "Mexican Vortex". You know the one where you can sail in but you can't sail out!
