11-26-2007 thru 12-6-2007 Return to Sol Surfin and our cruising life in Nicaragua : My thanksgiving was repairing our watermaker, changing out cleats on our bowsprit and riggin it all up and finally changing out the gypsy in the Windlass.  It felt good to give to the boat and to us.  Now 2 weeks later i've given all I can to the boat and we're putting out to sea again...

The Puesta Del Sol Fishing Tournament sponsored by Flor de Cano rum factory was quite a festival with all the free excellent RUM (RON here) and all their pretty girls.
