| Mexico here we come...... Yep.... Mexico it is, leaving November 22. To make a long story short, Veronique and I both left our jobs in April to try to get a job in the British Virgin Island, The Island did not worked, we had something in Martinique, no luck there either.... UK was close to be a done deal 3 weeks ago, until we had a phone call from Mexico.....
We had an offer that we could just not pass. House for 4 months, 2 months salary in advance, a truck for the time we need it and only our food and phone bill to pay..... All that in Ixtapa, a few feet from the Pacific ocean
After 4 months, if we like it down there, we already have a few opportunity for long term jobs. So that's it, leaving the 22, landing in Mexico City and driving to Ixtapa maybe 2 days after.
I'm not selling the Repsol, will wait to see if we like it over there, but it's all ready to go. Will try to make it to Grattan no matter what!!  |

| Re: Mexico here we come...... Great to hear, Jetbdude,  though sorry we won't get an opportunity of meeting in the UK  .
I'm sure the weather will be warmer in Mexico, though the winds can be stronger! Have a great time and much success  . |

| Re: Mexico here we come...... Good luck in your new endeavors. Do not take the Repsol down there. http://www.fireblades.org/forums/gen...ghlight=mexico
Leave it at my place.
Off topic question: Why would someone pay 1 mil for an unreliable boat and go way offshore with such a vessel? |

About the boat, they don't go offshore that much with those cruiser, they use it more to have a drink and lunch tied to the dock..... The bigger the boat the less they use it. It's just a way to show that they have money... Some good owners but most of them are dicks.... with money though  |
