b. Time to brag about one of our own! Photo and script taken from Instagram and thank you John Benward for sharing with us. “It was non-stop here in Cabarete, Dominican Republie. Four different competitions in five days! I absolutely loved getting back into windsurfing and kiting! I totally surprised myself by making the shortboard final and learned a lot about competition management with #type1diabetes at such an intense pace. I am so happy to win the women’s division and to place 7th in the men’s. Big congrats to my @starboardsup teammate@zaniac1 for taking out the men’a event. This event wouldn’t have been as special without my dad, @macraewylde! We don’t get to travel together all the time but when we do, it’s the best! Fiona”
Fiona and her Dad Macrae also known as Santa Claus!!! (Fiona has also been seen as an elf)
c. Baja Night Sky – Warm weather tonight & Thursday should make good stargazing. From 9:30 to 10:30 pm, look for the False Cross, on its side, low in south to left of 2nd brightest star Canopus. In the NE, follow the arc of the Big Dipper’s handle a dipper length to 4th brightest star Arcturus rising in the east. Sky pollution reports needed from North El Sargento, Hot Springs & north, & Rancho Cacachilas. Instructions here.
d. Hello everyone! Just wanted you to know between the police in LB and La Paz, I was able to get my truck back. Intact. Many meetings with lots of people in LB, two trips to La Paz, and hours ( yes, hours) of paperwork. I won’t go into detail, but I will say that you have to be patient and don’t give up. We are not in a position of strength here, and the process is not at all like the US. Have a good interpreter ( even if you think you can speak decent Spanish ). The process is confusing. Always have your title in a safe place and a copy of your registration. Take photos of all sides of your vehicles. I believe my current photos really helped locate my truck quickly. Photograph and keep receipts of all your valuables. Most of the stolen items are gone but I did get my paddle board back. Anyway… life goes on. Forever grateful to Mike and Peggy Connor and Gerardo Fuentes. Kathy Walkley
