Thu Jun 24 2021 It was pretty chaotic when we first rounded the Arches at Cabo and the gusts and water pounded us in the face, but we got into the groove and we did it!!! We left Cabo San Lucas around 6:30 PM last night and sometime between then and 1 AM we...

Hauling Out in La Paz
Marissa is getting loved on here in La Paz: bottom paint and some polishing. Yesterday was exciting, getting her out of the water, never a dull moment. I came into the location and they wanted me to turn the boat around and back in, haha, but the wind and tide were against me. In...
Happy Easter From La Paz!
We had a nice week out on the east side of Islas Espiritu. It was super peaceful with great snorkeling, hiking and just hanging out together, Shannon and I. We saw some wild billy goats roaming the beach our first morning there; they were pretty cool. I shot some nice cabrilla for dinner one...
Farewell Los Muertos, Hola La Paz!
For the best reading experience, I suggest putting on some Neil Young for this post. It was the vibe going as I wrote this, LOL – “Old Man” and “Heart of Gold”. Yes, we have arrived in La Paz. Our stay at Ensenada de Los Muertos was a nice one, about 7 days, just...

More Trouble in Bahia Los Frailes and Ensenada de Los Muertos

We’ve been learning to read the weather, sail, install a transmission, and over all, learning to become cruisers. We left San Jose del Cabo Monday the 9th of March at about 8:00am. We stopped at the fuel dock and topped...
New Transmission!
March 5, 10:45 PM Wow, we received the new transmission today! It arrived about 2:00pm and I went right to work on it. I spent about 8 hours down inside “The Hole”, as I call it. Yes, there was some bad language and some small amount of crying, especially when I hit my head...
Waiting Game
Hi Everyone! Hope all is good! We are still hanging in San Jose del Cabo waiting on this dang transmission! Customs has had it now for over a week and finally released it to our new hired broker. Man what a racket! Yeah, they got $1,500 US bucks from us and we think it’s...
