The People
Starting to understand why cruisers speak about the people they meet----the amazing to the crazy! Tom seems to attract those in need of medication or a drink; while Pam seems to seek out persons with more to offer. Pam finds them quite knowledgeable about Canada, well, at least about Canadian boating. Each hopes to get to the Pacific Northwest and rain doesn’t seem an issue. Tom’s group don’t seem to care and conversation tends to be more simplistic. His people are also well-tanned as they live outdoors a lot. Pam’s people are now wearing Fall clothes ---high leather boots and silk scarves with their shorts! One of Tom’s people told him the Homeless were the first to recycle bottles!
Most boaters give us helpful information about their favourite anchorages and ways to travel. A couple told us of a “beautiful” anchorage inside San Diego Harbour. The rats will swim out to your boat but they gave us directions on how to cut a plastic gallon milk bottle into a flange around the anchor line and we would then be fine. Another told us of how wonderful Mexico is in spite of “all the people murdered there”. She would not go there any more but said we would love it! One has told us we will now meet Mr. Rude as we are in Southern California. So far, we’ve met very friendly people---especially Tom’s friends.
