Nov 10, 2012, Sat, Cabo San Lucas

The official offices are closed today so immigration and customs will have to wait until Monday.  Today’s project is the internet.  A long hot walk up the street to the Telcel office and another long wait in their air conditioned office and we are set.  Everything is working fine, we just needed to put more money on it.  Apparently we ned to do this once a month, find a Telcel office and put more money on.  We walk back toward the beach and settle in an ice cream store in a mall and spend the afternoon checking the internet, reading e-mail and updating the blog until it is time for the final Baja Haha awards party.

The parking lot of the marina office has been set up with chairs and as the sun goes down, the crews from all 100+ boats gather.  One by one each division is called up.  Everyone gets a prize with special recognition for first and second place.   When our group is called we go expecting to be among the also rans.  One by one, each boat is named and no Rhapsody.  Suddenly they are announcing 2nd place. We turn to each other in amazement as Rhapsody is announced as first place winner!  We have no idea how we did it.  It does not seem possible.  Alan is is a daze of glory.  First time he has ever won anything.

And so it is time to say goodbye to the Haha and head back to the boat.
