Leaving the boat behind in Guaymas

5/9 Left in the morning for Guaymas. I learned how to drive stick pretty quickly at the border crossing, inching forward. 

5/10 almost done with boat storage.

5/12 Finished the boat for her summer storage in Guaymas. Pulled out of the yard at 11:00AM. “La Sancha” is fully packed of things we want to take off the boat, so that next season it’s not so stuffy on there. Almost died on a two lane double highway. Bronco swerving coming towards us, turned into slow motion scene from a movie. Started to cross the grass median at 65+MPH. Hit the upward side of the dip. I had a split second to either brake and die, or floor it and get out of there. Debris and grass chunks flew all over our hood while the Bronco did a 180º front flip, just missing our tail end! We kept going, being in Mexico… Luckily a police officer and ambulance were heading his way and I waved them down. Crossed the border into America at Nogales. They took my 25 year old Bonsai tree! It was a Chinese Elm that I have had for 5 years. It braved the Pacific and the Sea with us. It was just coming back to life, and they said no plant entry and that they must incinerate it!
