Lost Elvis - Lost Kayak in Paradise



Well, Lost Elvis not only lost a camera, we also lost our red kayak. Someone either cut it loose in the night or our land lubber not tying failed. We searched for two days, one of which was spent being directed and redirected from the Port Captain to the Coast Guard, to the tourist police to the state police where we ultimately spent 3 hours while the prosecutor dictated a complaint that I swore. It was a serious affair as anything official in Mexico is. The computer printer was a dot matrix and they used carbon paper that was cut by hand.
We assuaged our pain later that day by listening to Josie Kuhn again at Rics augmented by the odd shot of Heraduras Roja. The evening ended with the best hamburgers in town again.
On the positive side, we purchased a new Sony Cybershot camera (pink) for about $300. So now we can continue the blog with current photos.
Eric is still with us. His daughter Maya is coming to visit him soon so he'll likely return to Barra or rent a room here in Zihuat.
Ken and Marilyn have been more than generous by driving us around town to pick up laundry, shop at the Commercial Mexicana and help us out with local advice.

  1. Are you sure you guys are in Zihuat and not the Bermuda Triangle? Sorry to hear about the camera and now the kayak.
