I arrived back in Mongolia last Saturday and was pleasantly surprised to see the mercury nudging its way to 0 Celsius - a temperature we haven’t seen here since early November.
This fantastic ice carving of Chinggis Khan and his warriors was done before Christmas but is now starting to melt. Pretty soon only the big bronze statue next to it will be left.
Today while I was searching through some boxes of old documents and stuff I came across some photos from our past. This was one of the most memorable sails during all our time in Mexico. We were sailing into Bahia Conception in Sea of Cortez, Baja with our good friends Jim and Gail on PRIORITY when the wind came up and we decided to “pop the chute”. Sundancer II was just flying, doing an easy 6+ knots but eventually we had to douse the sail as we started to run into shallow water.

Many times when we were sailing we would throw a line over the side. Here’s a shot of Ray with the catch of the day.
and after he was done cleaning the fish, I prepared a delicious lunch of fresh sushi.
It doesn’t get much better than that - now I have to ask myself what are we doing living in Mongolia!!!
A couple of weeks ago the weatherman predicted a sunny weekend so we packed up the trailer and headed south to Deception Pass where we spent a great weekend camping.

During November and December the area was hit by some ferocious winter storms, with many trees fallen.
