Ah home…so much to love about going home to the U.S., and yet so much weirdness going on there that we feel somewhat relieved to be living in Mexico right now. What’s to love about …

We knew our time in Bahía de los Ángeles had to come to an end at some point, and we had a plane to catch at the end of October out of Loreto, so off …

Yeah, so, when we were in the throes of prepping for our departure into the big blue yonder, my dearest and only brother, Jerry, bet that I wouldn’t make it a year away from family …

Wow. Is it fall already? How did that happen? Seems like yesterday we were contemplating how to beat the heat up in Bahía de los Ángeles and now, all of a sudden, we’re down south …

We got our first taste of the storm season with Tropical Storm Lidia in late-August/early-September. The communication among cruisers in the Sea of Cortez relative to weather is impressive. There are a couple of radio …

There aren’t really sufficient words to describe this experience. Just watch the video – all one long shot. Pretty astonishing. We’ll be adding more to this post eventually, but wanted to publish this so all …

Well, we’re midway through August already and the word amongst cruisers is that this summer is unseasonably cool compared to summers past – thankfully! We feel bad for S/V Adventurer who must have been in …

…and our love affair with our ground tackle. Chubascos are a summer season weather phenomenon here in the Sea of Cortez (lucky us) that are associated with the monsoonal t-storm activity. These storm cells typically …

Thanks, Jenn and Jas, for the tag line! It truly feels like that’s what we’re doing right now. Actually, it may be more accurate to say, “fleeing summer heat!” But beyond the heat, our little …

Don’t let the name fool you. It’s a marina, but it’s also a boat yard. As boat yards go, it was tidy and relatively quiet, which was expected in late June, and the bathrooms were …

Ahhh, home. We won’t be back again until November because we’re feeling the need to be with da boat during the tropical storm season. Hence, we had to enjoy ourselves to the max while in …

Ok, so you’ve all been seeing these blog posts over the past few months with this guy, Ryan, featured prominently. He’s a dear friend who lived in the same marina back in San Diego, until …

You may recall that we’ve spent a fair amount of time hangin’ around with Tom and Barb aboard S/V Ellie while here in Mexico. What you may not know is that we knew them back in …

Well, we’ve been out for about 7 months, and time seems to have sped up. They say it slows down when you’re out cruising, but so far I haven’t found that to be the case. …

Ah, La Paz. We fell in love with La Paz almost immediately (just after we anchored in massive current and coromuel winds). It is a big-ish city, but it doesn’t feel that big, until you …
