Great post, Donna! So much in there! I did also appreciate the bit at the end that gave us a more real-time update. That's all we need. Don't stress being behind in posts.
It really feels like you are settling in to the lifestyle.
Great video of the whales! WOW!
I asked ChatGPT about the about the crocs. Here's what it said (I'll be curious to hear what Peter thinks of it):
Q: is it common behavior for a mexican crocodile to have his head out of the water with his mouth open for hours at a time without moving?
A: Crocodiles, including Mexican crocodiles, are known to bask with their mouths open to regulate their body temperature, especially in cooler weather. This behavior is often seen in crocodiles and alligators, and it's not uncommon for them to remain motionless for hours at a time while doing so.
However, it's important to note that crocodiles are wild animals and their behavior can vary depending on the situation and their environment. It's always best to observe these animals from a safe distance and not approach or disturb them in their natural habitat.
Thank you Andrew for your feedback! Yes, we are settling into the lifestyle. Now that we are heading to Panama we are meeting up with cruisers with the full-time lifestyle mindset that goes along with cruising long distances! Thank you too for the information about Crocodiles including ones here in Mexico. That makes a lot of sense and took the doubt out of our minds!
Lots of great stuff in here, beautiful photos and nice descriptions of the people, places, and especially liked your description of how meditative your watches are. I also loved the "Girls with Goals" shirt the one little girl was wearing in a photo. You are having such an amazing adventure. One request - can you put dates at the top/beginning so we know what time frame you are talking about? Keep 'em coming.
Also, that photo of Donna's face lit by the sun was so beautiful it made me want to cry.

Thanks Elinor. I'm so glad you're enjoying our posts. I will look to see how best to include a time frame. Thanks for your feedback! <3
