Berkeley (home)

It was nice to be home – especially to see our kids and our grandson again. And to sleep in a real bed again! We had planned to be home for about 4 weeks and then go back down for 2-3 months in the Sea of Cortez. However – it turns out we had lost our health insurance, and were denied for the private insurance that we applied for. Rather than trying to find a different private insurance, or going onto COBRA, we decided that Cathy would go back to work. And Doug would plan to go back down to Mexico in March to bring the boat up to Mazatlan to put it away for the summer.
